Paprika

Thanks to the genius of Kōsaku Tokita, a Japanese technology company has developed a device that makes it possible to peer into the dreams of sleeping people. The “DC Mini” not only allows dreams to be recorded, but also enables another person to immerse themselves in them and interact within them.

Scientist Atsuko Chiba has been working on this revolutionary technology for years and is already using it illegally to help people with mental health issues. Using her avatar named Paprika, she dreams alongside her patients and analyzes the experience afterward. However, three devices are stolen, and the development of the DC Mini is in jeopardy. In the wrong hands, it can become a dangerous weapon, for the human mind is a fragile thing, highly susceptible to madness. The search for the mastermind behind this theft begins.
