The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, Volume 7, by Eiji
Otsuka, 187 pages
This is one of the best adult manga series I have read in a long time. Prerequisites for liking this series include a healthy fascination with the supernatural, not being grossed out by gore, and being able to find some things about death funny. The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service is a group of college-aged students, each with special gifts (one girl is an embalmer and the main guy is able to speak for the dead) who try to deliver dead bodies where they need to go. This volume especially was a mix of hilarious and creepy. One story is about otaku robots, while another is about a celebrity who was murdered to clone her ears and offer them grafted onto people as celebrity plastic surgery. There are definite graphic parts (in a CSI way, not the other way), which would make this really more for adults, but I think older teens would enjoy it, too.
