Kuuchuu Buranko
Synopsis: The world of psychology is far from being strange to the unusual Dr. Ichirou Iraba, a resident psychiatrist at Irabu General Hospital. He and his charming nurse Mayumi go through several patients, each suffering from a mental illness that harms his daily life.
Patients should be cautious with the seductive Mayumi, with their fascinating and uniform appearance of pink and diabolically short nurse. On the other hand, the doctor seems to have three separate personalities: a child with a large laboratory coat; An intelligent and young man with feminine features; and an egoistic and extrovert bear. While healing your patients in questionable ways, Dr. Irabu usually tries to earn something out of them outside their profession - and, in doing so, occasionally forgets his role as a doctor.
While each patient struggles to face the nature of his anguish, an obvious but invisible wire, unites his ways.
