Synopsis
Two individuals with the ability to control minds meet and form an unusual relationship through “correspondence,” using real women as their “letters.” Atsushi Yagyu, a student yearning for age-appropriate romance, confesses his feelings to Ruka Miyamoto, the most beautiful girl in his class. However, she coldly rejects him. He then notices something strange about her behavior—she loses consciousness and acts without restraint. When their homeroom teacher Mana suddenly enters the classroom in a similarly unresponsive state, she reveals she is being controlled by someone calling himself “Black Goat.” As “White Goat,” Atsushi begins corresponding with Black Goat, using mind-controlled women as their “letters.” Through their exchange, Atsushi learns to master his own ability, gradually manipulating classmates, strangers, idols, and childhood friends. The story explores what these two ultimately seek to achieve with their powers. Full color, 53 pages.

Editorial Review
Mind-control narratives have become increasingly sophisticated in the doujinshi space, moving beyond simple fantasy premises into psychological territory that interrogates power dynamics and desire. *We Are Brainwashed “Letters”* positions itself within this trend but distinguishes itself through a deliberately epistolary framework—the correspondence between two controllers becomes the actual narrative spine rather than a mere plot device. This structural choice elevates what could be surface-level exploitation fantasy into something closer to a psychological thriller examining complicity and mutual corruption.
The dual-protagonist approach is the work’s strongest asset. Rather than centering on a single controller’s unchecked power, the “White Goat” and “Black Goat” dynamic creates a mirrored relationship where both parties are simultaneously predators and pupils, teaching each other to escalate their abilities. Atsushi’s initial motivation—rejection-driven resentment—grounds the premise in recognizable adolescent psychology before the narrative spirals outward to encompass increasingly distant targets (classmates, idols, strangers). This escalation curve, combined with the “letter” conceit of using controlled women as communication vessels, creates a genuinely unsettling tension between the intimate and the detached.
The 53-page full-color format suggests production values above typical amateur doujinshi work, and the English availability broadens its reach beyond the Japanese-language market, likely indicating professional translation investment.
Readers drawn to psychological domination narratives with narrative depth—those who appreciate the *how* and *why* of power dynamics over mere scenario cataloging—will find substantial material here. The work demands engagement with its protagonists’ motivations rather than offering passive consumption.
A genuinely disquieting exploration of corruption through correspondence; the epistolary structure transforms what could be rote exploitation into a study of escalating complicity.
