Splendid Shadow Song Manga

There are songs that stick with us long after we've heard them; the song Tamayo hears while passing a street musician is one of those. However, even with a doctor's visit and medication, the song won't leave her. Seeking resolution, she tracks down the musician, Yu Kanade, and discovers that this "brain noise" is contagious, with Yu's entire audience falling prey to it. But why is Yu's song stuck in everyone's head?

So the singular idea which Junji Ito has decided to build a story around this time is basically a combination of a song being stuck in your head with tinnitus (the medical condition where there's a constant ringing in someone's ear). The cause is verified to be supernatural in the middle and then it turns just straight-up weird during the climactic final moments. I find the artwork quite nice and I especially appreciate the singer's singing face. This is decent, but not great.
