Our take
A secretary with severe germophobia lists ten things he cannot do, and a counselor offers to help him through them. Hugely popular and divisive: the relationship is controlling by design.
Synopsis
Shirotani cannot touch a doorknob without gloves. Kurose, a therapist he meets by chance, has him write down ten things he cannot bear to do and work through them one by one. As the list shrinks, the relationship between them becomes intense and far from clinical. For adult readers; complete in six volumes.
