The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service: Book Two Omnibus
The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service: Book Two Omnibus | Eiji Otsuka
2 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
It's weird enough work, just trying everyday to turn corpses into cash when they're connected to mysterious UFO crashes, modern-day mummies, and stiffs turned to soap. But the secrets of the Kurosagi's crew past continue to haunt them as well, as they meet the exorcist Reiji Akira from Mail, who photograps the familiar spirit haunting Karatsu, and a flashback story takes us to early 20th-century Japan to meet the ancestors (?) of our cast, as they hunt the ripper stalking the streets of Meiji-era Tokyo! And now there's sinister competition in the future for them in the body trade, as they encounter a rival firm, the Shirosagi Corpse Cleaning Service... This is the second volume in the value-priced Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service Omnibus series from Dark Horse Manga!

While the first volume was several stories, this one is a longer story about revenge and forgiveness. It‘s also about the death penalty in Japan (I believe this series came out originally in the late 90s-early 2000s, so the laws may have changed since). It‘s not so much about whether the death penalty is right or wrong, but how it affects both the families of the victim and the condemned.

I liked how this one had a more continuous story and less nudity/graphic violence. I still find them slightly disturbing but interesting!
