Based on a manga by Hideshi Hino and directed by the mangaka himself, the next installment of the Guineapig series, Za ginipiggu 4: Manhoru no naka no ningyo (1988), is about an artist who, while trying to cope with the recent death of his wife, finds a wounded mermaid in a sewer beneath the streets of Okinawa. The artist takes her back to his house, and after a brief period of time, the mermaid develops lacerations and begins to bleed. The artist uses the blood and pus from the wounds to paint her portrait, but as he paints, her condition worsens and she dies. The artist dismembers her body in his bathroom; the police burst in, and we see that the painting he has made, and the corpse he is dismembering, is his wife.
