'''Homunculus''' is a [[Seinen]] manga, by Hideo Yamamoto, who also authored the manga which would become a cheerful little film called [[Ichi the Killer]].
So imagine that, like in [[The Matrix]], you have a subconscious self image. It represents your deepest desires and fears. And no one can see it but you. You, and a homeless man named Susumu Nakoshi, who agreed to let [[Mad Scientist|medical student]] Manabu Itoh drill a hole in his skull for a total of 700,000 yen. Itoh is interested in studying human minds, ESP, ghosts and the occult. And he thinks that he can potentially unleash the hidden psychic potential of Nakoshi's brain.

* [[Accent Adaptation]]: The scanlators translated Nakoshi's backwater [[Tohoku Regional Accent|Tohoku accent]] as something akin to [[The Simpsons (animation)|Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel's]] bumpkin accent, and it actually works.
* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: Nakoshi.
* [[All Psychology Is Freudian]]: Although there is not as much sexual imagery (ignoring all the outright sex) as usually is associated with Freud, all the focus on repression and subconsciousness and the unconscious is enough to make any psychology student cry.
