Synopsis
Follows the twisted path of failed novelist Hitomi Hirosuke, who bears an uncanny resemblance to a former classmate, the son of a rich industrialist. Learning of the rich man's sudden passing, Hitomi fakes his own death, digs up and hides the other man's body and then washes himself up starving on a beach near the home of the dead man's family. Stunning artwork by master manga artist Suehiro Maruo deftly illustrates this Japanese pulp classic in fine detail.
