In the fictional country of Central Eastern Republic ("[=CERia=]"), a young man named Vance Lee decides that he's been missing out on something. Something that porn simply can't replace. A girlfriend, to be more specific. [[SarcasmMode And what better way to get a hot girl than to]] ''hack into his university and '''assign''' himself one for a roommate?'' According to Vance, apparently none. Little does he know though, that this little "harmless" action would end up changing his life forever. He never does end up getting that hot roommate and instead, gets roped into some crazy conspiracy to overthrow the totalitarian regime that their country is under rule of; courtesy of his most-definitely-not female roommate.

* ProperlyParanoid: One reason why Mr. Lee doesn't want to help the homeless children begging at their car is because [[TheFarmerAndTheViper they might rob them while their guard is down]]. He's right; the eldest girl is carrying a concealed knife, [[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent which she pulls out as the car speeds away in the next panel]], although whether it was because she wanted to do exactly what Mr. Lee feared or she just pulled it out in a panic when she realized they were speeding away is deliberately left ambiguous.

* NoSympathy: Mr. Lee, having grown up in poverty himself without anyone helping him, lectures Vance and Alex about not helping the homeless children begging for help in Chapter 0 Part 7, saying that if ''he'' can pick himself up, so can they.

[[GreyAndGreyMorality Whether or not this was the right thing to do is YMMV]], but it provides a powerful and depressing example of classism that Vance and Alex are shaken up by.

As yuumei explains, "Fisheye" is a type of lens that distorts the camera shot to create a wide angle view and "Placebo" is a false cure given to a patient to trick them into believing they actually took a cure. Essentially, the title means "Through the distorted lens, I found a cure."
