Five students at a Buddhist college in Japan realise the job market is tough these days, but their unique spiritual and scientific talents help them get work from the dead, for they can contact the spirits of corpses and speak with them. If a body is found hanging from a tree or lying in an alley, it's probably got a story to tell! The five form The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, specialising in carrying out the last wishes of their dead clients, so their souls can move on. Eili Otsuka's cult manga hit is collected here for the first time. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

This time around growing the mythology takes a back seat to episodic adventures that explore the some weird science with robots and cloning and invisibility, macabre Japanese traditions around marrying the dead and infanticide, and a bloody government conspiracy.
Romance starts to play a part in the core characters interactions, and we are given some glimpses into the dark origin stories of Keiko Makino and Yuji Yata.
Side note: The editor who writes the sound-effect end notes for each included volume is going increasingly off the rails as he tries to provide context for the story and references the author is making by going into ever-lengthening, rambling digressions that are very tinged with his personal experiences and opinions. I'm not complaining, mind you, as I've found them mostly informative and amusing, but it does significantly increase the amount of time it takes to read this already thick collection. ( )
