Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In an out-of-the-way Japanese village, there is an illness known as Monmow Disease. Its symptoms are a wide variety of very bad things: the bones begin to atrophy, the patient exhibits an extraordinarily high fever, and eventually even loses the ability to breathe. But the most curious part of Monmow Disease is its visual symptoms: the patient begins to turn into what looks like a humanoid fox. The patient's bones deform into a dog-like shape, even forming a snout, while hair starts growing all over the body, and the patient loses the ability to digest nearly anything except raw meat.Young aspiring doctor Kirihito volunteers to go into Tokushima village to investigate this disease and, he hopes, come up with an explanation for its origin. But it turns out that he's in for an experience which is most certainly not what he was expecting.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Ode to Kirihito is a work by Osamu Tezuka with a genre bent that's rather difficult to describe. It's psychologically complex, dealing not just with Kirihito's experience with Monmow Disease, but also his friend Doctor Urabe's psychosis and deterioration without Kirihito around to help keep him grounded. It deals heavily with medical politics and intrigue as Tatsagura, their boss, tries to work his way into being elected president of the Japanese Medical Association. There's a deep religious angle as Helen Friese, a nun, is struck with the disease and must come to terms with her identity before God when she appears to the world as a monster. And Sexual Harassment and Rape Tropes? Prepare to be shocked by how many are used here.Suffice to say, there's a lot of stuff going on here. Ode to Kirihito is one of those "artsy" manga, dealing heavily with substantive issues in a medium where even today this kind of introspection is unusual. Suggest it to friends who dismiss comics as all being something for kids. And don't forget to tell them it was written by the same guy who made Astro Boy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Rape as Drama: Oddly enough, the focus is just as much on the deterioration of Urabe's mental faculties as it is on the women he rapes.

Pay Evil unto Evil: The board of the Japanese Medical Association could certainly be considered corrupt given that they elect Tatsugaura as their head despite Kirihito telling them in full all the horrible things he did to get the position, but they also immediately can Tatsugaura from the position once they hear he caught Monmow, despite knowing it's not necessarily fatal and perhaps believing it isn't contagious.

Karmic Transformation: Both Mahn and Tatsugaura contract (and eventually die from) Monmow Disease. Tatsugaura's is particularly karmic as it happens right after he wins the position as head of the Japanese Medical Association that he did all manner of underhanded thing to obtain, and he lives just long enough to find out he got booted from the position the moment the Association heard about his condition.

I Love Nuclear Power: The true cause of Monmow Disease is contaminated drinking water drawn from places that contained deposits of a rare radioactive isotope. Played somewhat more realistically than most, considering the gradual, painful, and usually fatal nature of the mutations, but the dog-face thing is still really pushing it.

Deliberate Values Dissonance: The racism of the white upper class in South Africa and the racial divide propogated by it at the time of the story are depicted prominently and plays heavily into Helen's subplot, as many people aware of her condition try to keep it secret so they can uphold the facade that Monmow only effects non-whites.

Anti-Hero: Urobe, a genuinely well-intentioned doctor attempting to set things right and expose the conspiracy that resulted in Kirihito's suffering and who is also a serial rapist. Kirihito becomes this for a period as a result of his continuous emotional trauma, being incredibly angry, cold and quick to violence, to the point of attempting to strangle a baby and being stopped by Reika. The baby dies anyways.

Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male: Played straight with Tazu, whom Kirihito eventually comes to love despite the circumstances surrounding their wedding. But it's subverted with Reika, whom Kirihito eventually forgives. Let's also not forget that he also gets raped by a literal bitch and that the manga makes it very clear that Reika and the she-dog nearly degrade him into a shell of his former self.

The Grotesque: Both Helen and Kirihito. They turn into odd, hairy dog-people, treated as humiliated freaks.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Helen and Kirihito have to go through hell for it, but they do finally receive closure and community that accepts them despite their appearance.

Our Werewolves Are Different: If you look over Tezuka's body of work you'll see he was quite fond of the trope. Kirihito is probably the most "realistic" interpretation out of them all, indeed perhaps in all of fiction.
