Ode to Kirihito

きりひと讃歌

Kirihito Osanai, a promising young doctor, is sent by his ambitious mentor Dr. Tatsugaura to investigate the Monmow disease in a remote village. This mysterious illness causes horrific bone deformation, giving its victims a beast-like appearance. Osanai aims to find the cause and treat the afflicted, unaware he is being set up by Tatsugaura, who seeks to eliminate him to claim sole credit for the research and advance his own standing in the medical world.

Infected with the disease, Osanai is cast out and must travel far from home, struggling to survive and find a cure. His mysterious disappearance triggers a web of consequences for those he left behind, including his emotionally shattered fiancée and a volatile colleague, Dr. Urabe, who navigates the corrupt medical establishment in a desperate attempt to uncover the truth.
