Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service TPB Volume 01 (Apr060055) (Mature)

Description:

"Writer: Eiji Otsuka 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 Heronî-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! • The Kurosagi live-action film is tentatively scheduled for U.S. release in 2007. • Each volume comes shrink-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory. • Original Japanese format. 'While there is cruelty, gore, violence, and implied unnatural sexual acts, the manga is also a complex and slyly ironic social commentary. Acquire this manga for adult collections for the naturalistic artwork that shows attention to human emotion, the social observation, and the banter between members of the delivery service. ' (Christine Gertz, Library Journal)"
