Chiyoko is overwhelmed, fainting, and Hitomi chokes her to death. He shows her extravagant manmade landscapes dotted with statues and frolicking attractive people, an aquarium tunnel, and portions of the island made to look larger optically like a panorama. Near the completion of the amusement park, Hitomi takes Chiyoko to the island on a tour. Genzaburo's widow, Chiyoko, learns about his deception after he has sex with her. He finances the construction by selling the Komoda family treasures, and appeases his business associate by giving him their kiln. Hitomi convinces his family advisor, Tsunoda, of his plan to build an amusement park on the island of Nakanoshima, relocating the fishermen living there. When Hitomi is discovered in Genzaburo's hometown, a doctor attributes his resurrection to catalepsy and Hitomi successfully passes for Genzaburo. He fakes his suicide and exhumes Genzaburo's corpse, hiding it and pulling out his own tooth to match Genzaburo's false one. Hitomi forms a plan to impersonate the dead Genzaburo, who looks exactly like him, to gain his fortune. His editor informs him that his wealthy boarding school friend, Genzaburo Komoda, has died. Hitomi Hirosuke, a struggling novelist, writes a story titled 'The Tale of RA' about a protagonist who suddenly gains wealth and constructs a paradise. The manga adaptation was published in English by Last Gasp on July 1, 2013. The Strange Tale of Panorama Island ( パノラマ島綺譚, Panorama-tō Kitan) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Suehiro Maruo and based on a 1926 novella of the same name by Edogawa Ranpo.
