   the Kurosagi corpse delivery service vol

   From: bliss@sfo.com   
      
   	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.   
      
   	Story by Eji Otsuka   
      
   	Art by Housui Yamazaki   
      
   	Cover design by Bunpei Yorifuji   
      
   	Editing and English translation by Carl Gustav Horn   
      
   	Lettering and touch-up by IHL   
      
   	This is from Dark Horse and sells at 10.95 USD for 189 pages of   
   story and 12 pages of cultural notes.   
      
   	If you like this sort of comedy horror you will find   
   the KUROSAGI corpse delivery service an absolute necessity   
   to add to your purchases,
