The protagonist, “Myself” decides to give up his identity to become the box man. Wearing a cardboard box over his head, the box man wanders around the city, peeks into the world one-sidedly through a peephole, fantasizes incessantly, and writes them all down in his notebook. However, the road to becoming the real one is not easy, with the Fake Doctor prowling after “Myself” to take over the existence of the box man.
