Last Menhealer

Kaname, a seventeen-year-old boy, found himself drawn to a girl named Igarashi, who was surrounded by unsettling rumors. Whispers labeled her as mentally unstable—referred to as a “menhealer”—and addicted to self-harm, particularly cutting her wrists. While the gossip about her mental state remained unverified, the scars on her arms confirmed the truth of her struggles. Determined to bridge the distance between them, Kaname fabricated his own pain, pretending to share her destructive habits. His lie became the key to approaching Igarashi, the isolated girl who kept everyone at arm’s length. Though his deception was born from longing, it blurred the line between sympathy and manipulation. As their fragile connection deepened, Kaname questioned whether his actions were truly for her sake or merely his own selfish desire to be close to her. The more he learned about her, the more he realized how little he understood the weight of her suffering. Their bond, built on half-truths, teetered between compassion and deceit, leaving both of them vulnerable in ways neither had anticipated.
