I hope you like high-concept because the best story in Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service Vol. 12 involves haunted houses, struggling comedians, astral projection, dirty real estate deals, and a dude getting shot in the face with a nail gun, all in a brisk 75 pages that I must have read in under a half hour.

Full Disclosure, I wasn’t familiar with the Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service series when I picked this volume up. It’s about five recent college grads with their own unique connection to the afterlife and who have formed a company which specializes in granting the dead their last wishes. Although, they seem to just kind of stumble into trouble. Think Ghostbusters by way of Scooby-Doo. But in Japan.
