The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, Vol. 3

Eiji Otsuka, <strong>The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, vol. 3</strong> (Dark Horse, 2007)First half of the book is a two-parter about which the jacket copy will tell you (and will tell you far too much, IMO; it's dangerously close to spoiler territory, if not over the line). Two one-shots afterwards, and I liked those better. In the first one, the gang get a case from a ghost with amnesia and try to figure out how he died by tracing the origin of a piece of graffiti on his front door, while the second have the gang trying to track down the owner of an ear Numata found inside a manga he bought at a used bookstore. Man, I need to find more interesting used bookstores... *** ½

Man, I never even heard about this manga. Never saw any ads or read any reviews until now. And wouldn't ya know it, this series rocks! The cover art and material in itself is a stunner.The art is pretty decent AND gross at times, which I like. Warning, this is not for the squeamish! I guess that's why it's shrink wrapped.
