【Ten Count】Will Be Animated in 2020!
Let’s Review a Now-Hot BL Manga, Ten Count in FIVE Minutes!

What kind of story is “Ten Count”?

It’s a BL Manga by Takarai Rihito, who also wrote “Seven Days” and “Grainerie”. It has sold over 2,200,000 in Japan alone and the translated version has also released overseas. It has 48 episodes in total. It concluded with six volumes. After it finished being serialized, various other media were developed such as drama CDs, games and Anime.
It finished being serialized in November 2017 and now they announced that it will be made in to Anime! Since the comics has six volumes in total, I’m guessing that there will be 12~13 episodes in Anime!

Outline

The main character, Shirotani Tadaomi, works as a secretary of the president. Even though he is always kind to others with smiles on his face, he actually suffers from “trauma”, which is obsessive-compulsive disorder that manifests as severe mysophobia. While Shirotani is evaluated highly as a great secretary at work, he has been avoiding having a deep relationship with others.
One day, Shirotani meets a psychotherapist, Kurose Riku, due to one accident. Kurose finds out that Shirotani suffers from mysophobia as soon as he sees him. Kurose, then, suggests that he should overcome the issue with him.
Having been suffering from the issue, Shirotani decides to overcome it with Kurose. Kurose, then, recommends exposure and response prevention therapy and instructs Shirotani to write “a list of ten actions he is unable to do”.
By the way, this is the actual list that has been given to Shirotani in Episode 1 of the original! Since it was shown in Episode 1 in public, it won’t be a spoiler…… But you can skip it if you don’t want to see it!
  1. Touch a doorknob barehanded
  2. Allow someone else to touch one of my possessions
  3. Buy a book from a bookstore
  4. Hold the handles on a train
  5. Eat a meal at a restaurant
  6. Shake hands with someone barehanded
  7. Hold someone else’s possession without disinfecting it first
  8. Drink from the same glass as someone else
  9. Allow someone else into my apartment
  10. (initially left blank)
This is a list of the actions which Shirotani feels uncomfortable doing it. As the number goes up, he feels more uncomfortable doing it, which means, for the first half of the list, ‘Shirotani might be able to do it if he makes a little efforts’, while for the latter half, ‘he might not be able to do it even if he makes a lot of efforts’. Kurose insists that by the time he makes everything possible as he does each action in order, he will be completely healed but…… as you can see, No.10 is not shown in Episode 1……
And now the counselling sessions by Shirotani and Kurose have started. Their relationship has started as a doctor and a patient in the beginning. The distance gets closer and closer as the session goes on.
In time, they will find out the “incident”, where Kurose gets to know why Shirotani starts having mysophobia, and Shirotani gets to know why Kurose starts aiming to become the councilor.
Is Kurose going to heal Shirotani’s mysophobia? And what’s behind Kurose, which Shirotani doesn’t know yet……!?
