Book Description

Publication Date: December 25, 2007

The corpses whose last wishes Kurosagi deliver usually died not too long ago . . . for reasons that are gruesomely obvious. But when the ominous Mr. Nire returns to the scene with a re-animated mummy in tow, what they're gonna do is go back . . . way back, as the kids kick it Egyptian Old Kingdom school! Then, travel from the past into the future of death, as the Kurosagi crew unlocks the cold business behind some cryogenically frozen heads!

This review is from: The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, Vol. 5 (v. 5) (Paperback)

This manga series follows a group of unemployable students find themselves hunting for dead bodies in hopes that they can grant them one last request. They're members of the Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, who can find, speak with, and preserve the dead until their wishes are fulfilled (for a nominal fee of course).

I've been consistently pleased with this manga. Each character has her/his own voice and personality, and the dialog is surprisingly funny, despite the somewhat morbid subject matter. They're good people doing good (albeit strange) things for dead folks. A fun read, highly recommended.
