The world stops making sense in the first five minutes. A Bug Man doesn't just lie to you, they rewrite what you remember as true, which means you can't trust your own mind to solve the mystery. The Memory Collectors move through the story like surgeons, cold and necessary, operating on reality itself while you're still trying to figure out what actually happened. This is a one-shot that commits fully to the disorientation: by the time you think you've caught up, the show has already changed what the ending means. It's built for people who like their mysteries to feel genuinely unsafe.

The protagonist cannot accept that his friend Shi Yan has died, and the Shi Yan he remembers takes physical form as a Bug Man, a powerful being able to warp memories and distort the world around it. The Memory Management Bureau sends two retrieval agents, Fang Tang and Bai Zhong, to recover him. Before long, the Bug Man version of Shi Yan alters the protagonist's reality and pushes him to face what lies ahead. The result is a single-episode ONA that blends action, mystery and psychological drama.
