Homunculus Vol. 3 4 by Hideo Yamamoto
After undergoing trepanation that allows him to perceive the hidden, often monstrous inner selves of others, a houseless former banker wanders Tokyo probing strangers’ psyches; across these volumes he investigates several damaged people, becomes entangled with a woman whose fractured interior reveals violence and obsession, and is forced to confront fragments of his own buried past. The storytelling grows darker and more surreal, blending clinical case-study encounters, sexual transgression, and urban decay as the line between observer and participant collapses, raising unsettling questions about identity, empathy, and whether seeing the soul can heal—or destroy.
