The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, vol 1, Eiji Ohtsuka, 208 pages
This was a pretty good adult manga. It had a mix of humor and horror. The premise is that there are a small group of students at a Buddhist university who come together to harness their special abilities. Those include hearing dead people, finding dead bodies, ESP, and communicating with aliens through a hand-puppet. They form the Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, which looks for dead/discarded bodies, listens to their last wishes, and tries to deliver them where they need to go to find peace. It had a Pushing Daisies element to it (what a good show!), but much more sinister. The stories are definitely for adults who can handle cartoon images of dismembered bodies.
