Product Description

Your body is their business! Five young students at a Buddhist university, three guys and two girls, find little call for their job skills in today's Tokyo... among the living, that is! But all that stuff in college they were told would never pay off - you know, channeling, dowsing, ESP - gives them a direct line to the dead... the dead who are still trapped in their corpses and can't move on to the next reincarnation. The five form the Kurosagi ("Black Heron" - their ominous bird logo) Corpse Delivery Service: whether suicide, murder, accident, or illness, they'll carry your body wherever it needs to go to free your soul! The kids from Kurosagi can smell a customer a mile away - it's a good thing one of the girls majored in embalming!

Customer Reviews

Highly enjoyable but extremely disturbing manga.
This manga is well illustrated, easy to follow and, quite frankly, extremely disturbing. As far as the story goes the title describes it all. A bunch of students at a Japanese University discover they all have vaguely associated, if somewhat mostly useless gifts; embalming, hacking, channeling (of an alien), dowsing for corpses and talking to the dead. Until one of them decides to form a delivery service for the dead that is. Then their gifts all come to use. They go around looking for dead bodies, mostly murder victims, that have been dumped. They then comunicate with the corpse and do their best to put it's spirit at rest. Each chapter features a new challenge for the 5 friends (though they really are more just aquantances) as they search rubbish dumps and empty houses and rarely fail to find a new murdered and/or mutilated corpse. The illustrations are vivid and, at times, violent. This manga is not for the squeemish or light hearted. But if you are a fan of horrors with a deep psychological twist then The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery service comes highly recomended.
