Paranoia Agent

妄想代理人

Tsukiko Sagi, a timid character designer, becomes the first victim of a mysterious assailant known as Shounen Bat. The attacker, a young boy on rollerblades wielding a golden baseball bat, strikes seemingly random people in Musashino City. Tsukiko, who finds solace only in her anthropomorphic pink stuffed animal Maromi, is suspected by some of orchestrating the attacks herself.

Detectives Keiichi Ikari and Mitsuhiro Maniwa are assigned to investigate the string of assaults. As Shounen Bat continues his relentless attacks, the case grows increasingly complex. Paranoia spreads through the city as rumors about the assailant circulate among adults and children alike, blurring the line between reality and delusion. The detectives must unravel the truth behind the attacks before the paranoia consumes everyone.
