Based on the title provided, this refers to the localization (English/"EN") of the manga "Curious Tales of Yaezujima" by Rinko Kageyama.
Here is a feature profile for the manga, highlighting what readers can expect from the English release:
Is Yaezujima real? Geologically, yes — though its status changes on some Japanese charts. Is Rinko Kageyama a historical figure? Possibly. Her name appears in one census ledger from 1898 as "exile, female, no kin" — three words that launched a thousand stories. And the En? That is the true mystery. curious tales of yaezujima rinko kageyamas en
Perhaps it is an ancient form of psychological warfare. Perhaps it is a lonely woman’s cry for companionship across the void of time. Or perhaps, as the curious tales themselves suggest, Rinko Kageyama is still on Yaezujima, waiting for someone to finish the final tale so she can finally leave.
And if you have read this entire article, congratulations — you have already heard three of the seven tales.

Remarkably, the curious tales of Yaezujima, Rinko Kageyama’s En, have found new life on the internet. In the early 2010s, a thread on the Japanese forum 2channel (now 5channel) described a user who attempted to geolocate Yaezujima on Google Maps. The user reported that every time they zoomed in on the island’s coordinates (27.1458° N, 142.1927° E), their browser would crash — and a single line of text would appear in the search bar: "Rinko Kageyama reads you."
Skeptics call this a glitch. Folklorists call it a techno-henge — a digital manifestation of the En. (Choose one option and I’ll proceed
Several YouTubers and paranormal investigators have attempted to "summon" Rinko’s tales by reading them aloud in isolation. A notable case in 2018 involved an American podcaster named Marcus V. , who read the complete English translation of "The Hundredth Lantern" during a live broadcast. Viewers reported that at the 47-minute mark, Marcus stopped speaking mid-sentence. His eyes, they wrote, “reflected a shoreline that wasn’t there.” He resumed 14 seconds later, claiming he had no memory of the gap.
The episode was titled: "Rinko’s En – The Most Disturbing Tale I’ve Ever Read."
