As was discussed before, I was thinking of getting a new body pillow. And was tempted by the selections that are out there. But after seeing this.

I think I’ll pass.

The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service Vol. 1

Writer: Eiji Otsuka
Artist: Housui Yamazaki
Genre: Horror

After getting out of college, a group of misfits find that they have no real world job skills. Combined each of their abilities, psychic, dowsing, hacking, embalming, and channeling, give them a unique understanding of the dead. Penniless, they form the Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. An organization that finds, transports, and gives closure to souls still trapped in their bodies. all the while trying to deal with the strange occurrences, that seem to follow their line of work.

Besides the fantastically designed covers, the artwork  is clean and works well with the story. Screen tones are used sparingly and speed lines hardly at all. In some ways not your typical manga the art.

Sometimes, late at night, I wonder if our commercials look as strange to the Japanese as theirs do to us.

I have to say, the music is what puts it over the top.

I know some people find Cosplay a dubious hobby. But when I come across photo’s like this, I’m drawn to it. How soon I brake down and join their ranks, is only a matter of time. That and how fast I pick up on Sewing.

Life is just one big cosplay anyway right?
