So what’s Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service Book Six Omnibus about?
Five students at a Buddhist college in Japan find there’s little call for their job skills…among the living, that is! But their unique talents allow them to work with the dead…carrying out the last wishes of those whose spirits are still trapped in their corpses, and can’t move on to the next life.
The Book Six Omnibus brings Kurosagi back to work…on some of their oddest jobs yet! When Numata’s fujoshi acupuncturist becomes the target of a manga-banning politician, it’s up to the Kurosagi gang to stick the needle into his power-hungry scheme. Next, a contest prize vacation to Shanghai turns into a side gig on the set of a Chinese zombie movie…but are all those corpses method acting? Then, we know the tragic story of Yata’s sister, but will things turn out happier for his partner Kereellis? For Kereellis’s sister, that is. His puppet sister. And that’s just three of nine all-new bizarre stories in the Book Six Omnibus collection of the Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service!

Praise for Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service:
“It actually reminds me a lot of Mike Allred’s work…it’s an attractive book, and the stories are just beginning to really showcase Yamazaki’s abilities as an artist.”
—Read About Comics
“One of the ongoing series I most look forward to, in all its goofy, gruesome glory.”
—Anime News Network
“While there is cruelty, gore, violence, and implied unnatural sexual acts, the manga is also a complex and slyly ironic social commentary. Acquire this manga for adult collections for the naturalistic artwork that shows attention to human emotion, the social observation, and the banter between the members of the delivery service.”
—Library Journal
