Hey, it beats being an office assistant.Įiji Otsuka is using a tried-and-true story structure in The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service a selection of different/misfit individuals band together and form a group that’s stronger as a whole than apart. And that’s how they all got pulled into finding a profession-locating trapped souls and helping them move on. And Kuro? He can speak to the dead when their souls are still trapped inside the corpse, unable to move onto the next life. Sasaki is a master of the internet (and also sells pictures of bodies online). Yata can channel aliens through his hand-puppet. Numata’s dowsing powers have a knack for finding dead bodies. What he didn’t realize is that like himself, all of the other four people in the group have their own special abilities. That’s how Kuro Karatsu ended up agreeing to go with a prayer group out into the woods, for lack of any other good leads. All the good jobs for in-house monks are taken for people with better qualifications, and it seems like no one wants a Buddhist office assistant these days. It’s hard to find a job when you’re a student at a university for budding Buddhists. And if the outside is that good, well, it’s hard to imagine that the inside won’t be as well. From the schematic design on how all the pieces of a body fit together, to the brown paper wrapper style cover paper stock, to the different colored inks to make up the logo, this is a book whose appeal has been carefully thought out and executed by all involved parties. In the case of The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service Vol. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.One of the easiest way to get a new reader’s attention is with a good title for your comic, or a good cover design. Nobody does horror-comedy comics better than Otsuka and Yamazaki. The third, longest case, involving murders on a movie set, is the weakest conceptually, but the series’ deft blending of gore and gags keeps it highly amusing. The two-delivery second scenario, in which cosmetic surgery meets embryonic stem-cell manipulation, is just as clever and a lot creepier. The single-delivery first caper arises from one of the KCDS’ frequent nonprofessional engagements (gotta pay the bills, y’know) that has the three male members resorting to robotics to help with a gravestone-schlepping job. There are six deliveries (i.e., chapters) but only three stories in the seventh KCDS collection.
but what if it takes over their death as well? Zombie robot otaku and plastic-surgery disasters are only the latest faces of horror as Kurosagi continues its eternal struggle to turn corpses into cash! Yet with Kuro trapped in a coma and seeing visions of the dark forces battling over him, it's up to the rest of the gang to survive the grotesque schemes of the White Heron pair.
