Description

Five students at a Buddhist college in Japan find there's little call for their job skills...among the living, that is! But their unique talents allow them to work with the dead...carrying out the last wishes of those whose spirits are still trapped in their corpses, and can't move on to the next life!

Book Six brings Kurosagi back to work...on some of their oddest jobs yet! When Numata's fujoshi acupuncturist becomes the target of a manga-banning politician, it's up to the Kurosagi gang to stick the needle into his power-hungry scheme. Next, a contest prize vacation to Shanghai turns into a side gig on the set of a Chinese zombie movie...but are all those corpses method acting? Then, we know the tragic story of Yata's sister, but will things turn out happier for his partner Kereellis? For Kereellis's sister, that is. His puppet sister.

And that's just three of nine all-new bizarre stories in omnibus Book Six of The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service!

Reviews

"Pick of the Week... The tales of five Buddhist university students who help free souls trapped in their corpses are, at turns, disturbing, touching and funny."--Kevin Melrose, Blog@Newsarama

"One of the ongoing series I most look forward to, in all its goofy, gruesome glory."--Shaenon Garrity, Anime News Network

"I was sold by the first few pages...it's a lot of fun. It's a warped Saturday-morning cartoon for grown-ups."--David Welsh, Comic World News
