Homunculus

Susumu Nakoshi is a 34-year-old man living out of his car, drifting between a luxury hotel and a park full of homeless people. He has little to his name, but not so little that he would agree to be the subject of a strange experiment. An eccentric 22-year-old medical student named Manabu Ito has been following him, offering a large sum of money in exchange for performing trepanation: drilling a hole in his skull to awaken a sixth sense.

Then Nakoshi notices that the vision in his left eye has changed, and he begins to see the twiste
