Original: 地獄に堕ちるわよ
As Japan's most famous fortune teller, Kazuko Hosoki ruled TV and bestseller lists, but who was she behind rumors of spiritual scams and underworld ties?
Writer Minori meets Kazuko, the TV fortune teller who coined "You'll go to hell!", and starts digging into the dark rumors behind her sensational rise.
Unwilling to be used any longer, Kazuko starts her own business and soon makes enough to open a club in Tokyo's most glamorous district, Ginza.
Kazuko finds herself trapped and stifled in a traditional marriage. Back in Tokyo, her booming business grows — and the yakuza come knocking.
With Tokyo riding Olympic fever and her clubs thriving, Kazuko is swept up by Sudo's charm and makes an impulsive decision. But what will it cost her?
In the present, Minori confronts Kazuko about shady sales tactics and gets a sobering lesson. Back in 1970, Kazuko sinks deeper into violence and fear.
The 1973 oil crisis squeezes Kazuko's club, but a fateful meeting with a fortune teller changes her outlook. It's time to try something new.
Kazuko weaves a touching story about saving Chiyoko Shimakura's life and career, but a figure from her past unveils another side to the tale.
After a soul-crushing betrayal, Kazuko reinvents herself as a fortune teller and uses her connections to build a media empire — and hunger for more.
Faced with new truths, Minori chases the reality behind Kazuko's self-made myth, but her subject keeps meddling. What final story will she choose to tell?
