RSS Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 I was first informed of the existence of The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service at Anime Weekend Atlanta, my local yearly anime convention, last autumn. A Dark Horse editor was holding a panel on manga market trends and he showed those of us in attendance some upcoming releases. Immediately, when he described the plot of Kurosagi, I thought to myself, That's brilliant! Much like Death Note, Kurosagi's story made me wonder, Why didn't I think of that?! The manga details the daily lives of five students at a Buddhist university, each of whom possess a skill that helps them solve the mysteries of the dearly departed. When I finally managed to get a copy of the first volume, I was not disappointed. The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service can best be described as a bizarre amalgamation of Law & Order: Criminal Intent and Raines, with a smattering of Scooby-Doo here and there all wrapped up in an attractive Japanese manga shell.

Kscriv Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 This looks like a very good book actually, I might go check it out when money frees up, so it might take awhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 The nice thing about these books is that they are cheaper than most Dark Horse manga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 InStockTrades.com has them for $7.12. By the way, James, this manga sounds similar to a comic called Styx Taxi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading that description, there are similarities; but they are very different from one another. (Which is good, of course.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
