There's a lot of mysteries in this series. Who is the mysterious being behind Karatsu? WHAT is he? Why is he willing to help anyone in the KCDS in the first place? We get a sort of answer, but it leaves us with more.

There are three different stories in this volume. The first story finds our favorite corpse delivery service members facing empty bank accounts as their business hits another lull- none of their "customers" have been paying well, if at all! They decide that they'll start going out to find more suicides, only to discover that an entrepreneurial postal employee has the jump on them! The second story introduces the Shirosagi Corpse Cleaning Service- a group that does pretty much the same thing that KCDS does! If that isn't bad enough, Numata has moved into an apartment that had it's occupant recently removed by the Shirosagi... and there seems to be a body shaped stain developing on the ceiling! The third story appears to discuss the background of Karatsu's ghostly helper. (I say appears to because we don't know entirely for sure until the author says it's him!) The story takes place in the past, with several ancestors of our favorite characters making an appearance!

I really did enjoy this volume. There's a few questions answered, but there's just as many left open. I really did like the Numata chapter where he's looking for a new apartment (he's my fav character, so I almost like it by default). I also enjoyed seeing that there's others out there with similar talents & I liked that there's now a real rival for the KCDS- it helps move the plot along more. While I don't mind that the stories are a lot of one-offs, it's also nice to have something to move the plot along.

This one is sure to please fans of the series!
