Mail TPB Volume 01 (May060038) (Mature)

Description:

"Private detective Reiji Akiba has a theory about those awkward moments and weird coincidences we all encounter in life. They are actually encounters with the dead-their way of sending us a message. But you may not want to open such strange mail from beyond-not unless you can see the ghostly attachment, like Akiba can. And not unless you carry a gun that can kill what isn't alive, like Akiba's aptly named Kagutsuchi, 'the tool between God and earth' . . . digging a divine grave to lay to rest the evil dead. Volume 1 of Mail opens with a model's photo shoot at what was a lovely riverside. But someone's thrown their trash away here: human bones. When the negatives in the darkroom reveal hidden horror, it's time for the magazine to hire Akiba. The answers lie in the secret basement of a shunned house . . . but they don't lie peacefully! • Mail was recently made into a live-action Japanese horror movie starring Chiaki Kuriyama-'Go-Go Yubari' from Kill Bill. • With Mail and Corpse Delivery Service, Dark Horse introduces to the U.S. market one of the hottest up-and-coming new artists in Japan, Housui Yamazaki. These two books are Yamazaki's debut in the American market. • Each volume comes shrink-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory. MAIL volume 1© Housui YAMAZAKI 2006. First published in Japan in 2004 by KADOKAWA SHOTEN Publishing Co., Ltd.,Tokyo. English translation rights arranged with KADOKAWA SHOTEN Publishing Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Through TOHAN CORPORATION, Tokyo."
