Homunculus 1 by Hideo Yamamoto
In this psychological thriller, a down-and-out man named Susumu Nakoshi agrees to undergo a mysterious and experimental procedure called trepanation, which involves drilling a hole into his skull. As a result, he begins to perceive bizarre and surreal visions of people's inner selves, or homunculi, revealing their deepest fears and desires. This newfound ability leads him on a dark journey of self-discovery and moral questioning, as he grapples with the implications of seeing the hidden truths of those around him, blurring the lines between reality and illusion.
