Summary	The lazy end of summer on K Beach takes a bizarre turn for Nakano Goro when a mysterious, sleek ship appears. Through his telescope, he spots a stunning woman and, impossibly, his long-lost uncle—a man believed dead for fifteen years. Driven by a desperate need for answers, Nakano stows away, only to be swept into a breathtaking journey to Nisshō Island, a secret scientific nation hidden by an artificial mirage. Here, flowers bloom out of season, animals defy their natural size, and rows of identical beauties named Keiko walk the pristine grounds. But as Nakano uncovers his uncle's unsettling experiments, he realizes his own identity is perilously at stake. Caught in a web of scientific marvels and chilling manipulations, Nakano must confront the terrifying truth of his new reality. Will he escape this island of unimaginable wonders and horrors, or is he destined to become another one of its creations?
