Line 2: So we have [[Mystery of the Week]], where the heroes solve a new mystery ever week. And we have [[Monster of the Week]], when the heroes fight a new bad guy every week. We even have [[Patient of the Week]], when the heroes are doctors and they help out a new sick person every week. And then there's this guy. He's not dead or in danger of ~~dying-- he~~dying—he's just [[The Woobie\|troubled]] in some way. Maybe he's angry at God because his wife died, or he's in debt and needs help, or [insert touching story here]. Whatever the problem, our main character has to figure out how to help him. [[One-Shot Character\|And then the Woobie promptly disappears]], and [[Index of the Week\|next week]] our hero finds someone like him [[Status Quo Is God\|all over again]]... These series tend toward being spiritual and [[~~Glurge\|glurgey~~glurge]]y, but really it's up to the skill of the writer. {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * ''[[~~xxxHolic~~×××HOLiC]]'': The heroes go about, helping addicts of various types. * In ''[[Ballad of a Shinigami]]'', Momo the shinigami finds some way to relieve the pain of the dead or the ones they are leaving behind each week. * ''[[Tokyo Babylon]]'' has A LOT of these.
