Hi Denizens of rec.arts.manga.
the KUROSAGI corpse delivery service volume 5
Picked up volume 5 of this comedy horror manga at the SFPL Main.
A team of otherwise unemployable college graduates are hired
to help corpses get where they need to go to be for their souls to
be freed. They all have talents that contribute to the efforts including
psychic dowsing, hacking, embalming, channeling and a puppet.
Some of the stories are relatively simply but they get involved
with serial murder, fraud, child murder wrongly blamed on the mother
and other complications. The business model is not so good until
they begin to hire out as mouners as well which leads to some
interesting leads.
I found it amusing but there are also interesting culture notes in
the back.
