Kurosagi: De Lijkbezorgingsdienst

Deze manga volgt een groep jongeren die de kost verdienen met het bezorgen van lijkkisten. Dit is echter geen gewone dienstverlening; ze komen regelmatig paranormale verschijnselen, geesten en onopgeloste mysteries tegen die verband houden met de overledenen. Elk geval biedt een mengeling van horror, zwarte humor en een melancholische reflectie op leven en dood. De serie verkent de menselijke conditie door de lens van het bovennatuurlijke, waarbij het team niet alleen de doden moet trotseren, maar ook hun eigen voortdurende trauma's moet verwerken.

    '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 Heron" - 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!
