Housui Yamazaki Volgorde van de boeken

Your body is their business! Five strange, young students at a Buddhist university 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 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 Corpse Delivery Service: whether suicide, murder, accident, or illness, they'll carry your body wherever it needs to go to free your soul! In Volume 12: Second Death, two bodies found in the woods - one not-quite-departed, the other horribly mutilated - lead the Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service to investigate a private online community. The virtual world offers you the chance to do all kinds of things in simulation that you couldn't do in life... but are you sure everyone playing is still alive?

Paint it black! Designer Bunpei Yorifuji darkens the iconic cover design in honor of the sinister "Class Cutter" - Kurosagi's longest story since Volume 2, inspired by one of the most infamous Japanese crimes of recent years. Can a girl who committed a brutal murder in grade school ever truly return to society... and why does Sasayama insist on dragging the Corpse Delivery Service into it?

There's competition on all sides in the body baggage game, when Kurosagi finds its rather loose business model challenged by a corporate rival who guarantees the next world on time! But it's not only the clean-cut trying to dig into their market. The oddball duo calling itself the White Heron Corpse Cleaning Service aren't just out to eat Kurosagi's wormy lunch, they're going to start revealing trade secret - namely, the hideous history behind the ghost which haunts Karatsu!

Heads up! That's what the Kurosagi crew sees floating in midair - above a moving motorcycle! But this headless horseman in reverse is linked to a corpse that can be smelled and felt, but not seen! Then, the mystery moves from sight to sound, as the last words of an elderly veteran reveal the hideous crime behind a secret program of World War II - whose effects can still be heard...

A small country town's got more than the usual crop circles to claim aliens drop by... they've got the extraterrestrial's body! It's going to be a different kind of alien autopsy when the Kurosagi crew investigates their oddest client yet. And there's more strange visitors from afar when an American entomologist drops in-blond, buxom and an expert on maggots - not to mention a crossover appearance by Reiji Akiba, the gun-toting exorcist of Mail!
