It's a medical story, but the medical part is almost secondary
A book that kept me grinning the whole time I was reading it: 'Trapeze: Dr. Irabu'.
Dr. Irabu looks like just a pale, slightly chubby psychiatrist, but the way he cuts right to the heart of his patients' problems is somehow reassuring (lol).
Trapeze: Dr. Irabu
Hideo Okuda (Author)
A circus trapeze artist who can no longer jump. A yakuza with a phobia of sharp objects who is afraid of everything from knives to the corners of desks. A doctor who is dandy and on the fast track to power, but who desperately wants to rip off his father-in-law's toupee. Today, too, strange patients visit the neurology department in the basement of Irabu General Hospital. But the pale, chubby attending physician, Ichiro Irabu, has a strange quirk... Is this man a ridiculous psychiatrist who makes even crying children fall silent, or is he a great doctor who heals the sick!? Naoki Prize winner. The second installment in the hit series following 'In the Pool'!

✻Synopsis✻
My name is Ichiro Irabu. I work in the neurology department at Irabu General Hospital, facing "unusual" patients every day.
A trapeze artist who can no longer jump, a yakuza with a phobia of sharp objects who is afraid of everything from knives to the corners of desks, and a doctor who is dandy and on the fast track to power, but who desperately wants to rip off his father-in-law's toupee... Today, too, such strange people come to the basement examination room.
But you know, I have a strange habit I can't tell anyone about. On the outside, I'm just a pale, chubby psychiatrist. But when I delve into the depths of my patients' hearts, I sometimes shake up their worries in a way that's a little bit unusual.
Am I really a ridiculous psychiatrist who makes even crying children fall silent, or am I truly a great doctor who heals the sick? Today, too, a strange, funny, and slightly bittersweet story begins in the basement of the hospital.
📖Impressions
My stomach hurts from laughing so much.
I don't go to the basement of Irabu General Hospital—well, I go to the world of this book—but the patients and doctors who appear here are, in any case, not normal. A trapeze artist who can no longer jump, a yakuza who is afraid of even the corners of a desk, and the pale, chubby Dr. Irabu.
I have no idea if Dr. Irabu is a great doctor or a confused one. But his eccentricity is exquisite, and every time I read it, I roll on the floor laughing, thinking, "Wait, you're going to treat them like that!?" The chaotic feeling I enjoyed in the previous work, 'In the Pool,' is alive and well here too.
It's a medical story, but the medical part is almost secondary. It's a perfect balance of laughing, feeling a little creeped out, and yet in the end, making you think, "Maybe I can actually trust this doctor...?"
I just can't wait for Dr. Irabu's next eccentric act. It was a book that made me feel truly refreshed, wondering if the world of psychiatry is this free and interesting!
