Shrink: Seishinkai Yowai #17

Shrink: Seishinkai Yowai is a contemporary Japanese manga series written by Jin Nanami and illustrated by Tsukiko Tsukino, serialized in Grand Jump since 2019.

The design and artistic direction by Tsukino prioritize a grounded, realistic aesthetic that avoids melodrama, seeking instead to reflect the quiet tension of the psychiatrist-patient dynamic. Upon release, the series has been well-regarded by readers for its educational value and has received recognition within Japan for its role in promoting broader public awareness of psychological well-being.
