comment |
Nounai Poison Berry (脳内ポイズンベリー lit. Poison Berry in My Brain) is not your typical Romantic-Comedy Josei.When 30-year-old Sakurai Ichiko sees 23-year-old Saotome Ryouichi, whom she met at a drinking party, there are five meeting members inside her brain to help her take action—five parts of Ichiko personified as people. In fact, what happens in her brain seems like the main part in the manga itself, all the way up to five volumes created by Setona Mizushiro.The manga was serialized in Chorus magazine (later relaunched as Cocohana during the manga's run) from 2009 to 2015, and compiled into five volumes. On May 9th, 2015, a live-action movie based on the manga came out in Japan. In March 2020, a stage version of the manga had a run in Japan.Theme song for the movie.See also Inside Out, the Pixar film with a very similar theme, Yumi's Cells for the Korean equivalent, and Herman's Head for a live-action sitcom take on the concept. |

Funny Background Event: Ishibashi and Hatoko Squeeing over Saotome at one point in Chapter 10 while Yoshida and Ikeda diligently talk. In Chapter 23, Hatoko is just slumped with arrows in her back while Ishibashi snatches the microphone away from Ikeda in the foreground. After Saotome resumes talking bitterly, Hatoko is shown to have hanged herself, with the arrows still inside her in the background). |

The Masochism Tango: Ichiko and Saotome try their best to make their relationship work out, and both of them are clearly attracted to one another. However, when Ichiko becomes more successful financially, Saotome is left feeling that he can never catch up to her as an equal and becomes jealous of her independence, which then ends up making Ichiko feel that she is to blame for their issues. At the end, Ichiko decides to break up with him. |

Mundane Made Awesome: What seems like typical eating and awkward silence is represented as a race against time (before the outside world people have finished eating) in Ichiko's brain. Heck, almost everything about decision-making is made awesome when there are intracranial democratic council members in a meeting at work! |
