|    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,               darkhorse.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
