'manic' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'dull routines i'd reviewed linked to plot' is the wordplay.
'dull routines' becomes 'ruts' (I've seen this in another clue).
'reviewed' is a reversal indicator.
'linked to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'plot' becomes 'bed' (a plot of land).
'ruts'+'id'='rutsid'
'rutsid' reversed gives 'distur'.
'distur'+'bed'='DISTURBED'

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
