Dogra Magra by Kyūsaku Yumeno

A young man awakens in a psychiatric hospital with fragmented memory and is told he may have inherited a hereditary madness tied to his mother’s notorious crime; as doctors, detectives and strange acquaintances probe his past, clinical case notes, hallucinatory dreams and unreliable testimony intertwine, blurring the line between sanity and madness and leaving it ambiguous whether his collapse is the result of heredity, sinister experiments in brain science, or his own fractured perception.
