Eiji Otsuka Knihy

Five students at a Buddhist college in Japan find there's little call for their job skills...among the living, that is! But their unique talents allow them to work with the dead...carrying out the last wishes of those whose spirits are still trapped in their corpses, and can't move on to the next life! Book Five has the Kurosagi gang running into ever more bizarre incidents of modern horror, from mind-control mouse hats, to taxpayer-supported torture museums, to the most feared calamity of all...jury duty! Meanwhile, it seems a gang of corpse-clearing impostors is out to take away their meager business--and in America, someone's made a cartoon series based off them...?! Plus, three previously unpublished stories: a client whose psychological syndrome makes her believe she's dead; the mad robot scientist trio invents a zombie biker gang, and fugitives from a deadly cult hide out in the radioactive ruins of Fukushima! Collects The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service volumes 13 and 14, plus the previously unpublished volume 15.

It's weird enough work, just trying everyday to turn corpses into cash when they're connected to mysterious UFO crashes, modern-day mummies, and stiffs turned to soap. But the secrets of the Kurosagi's crew past continue to haunt them as well, as they meet the exorcist Reiji Akira from Mail, who photograps the familiar spirit haunting Karatsu, and a flashback story takes us to early 20th-century Japan to meet the ancestors (?) of our cast, as they hunt the ripper stalking the streets of Meiji-era Tokyo! And now there's sinister competition in the future for them in the body trade, as they encounter a rival firm, the Shirosagi Corpse Cleaning Service... This is the second volume in the value-priced Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service Omnibus series from Dark Horse Manga!

Your body is their business! Five strange young students at a Buddhist university - three guys and two girls - find little call for their job skills in today's Tokyo... among the living, that is. But all that stuff in college they were told would never pay off - you know, channeling, dowsing, ESP - gives them a direct line to the dead... the dead who are still trapped in their corpses and can't move on to the next reincarnation. The five form the Kurosagi ("Black Heron" - as opposed to the white stork which brings babies into this world...) Corpse Delivery whether suicide, murder, accident or illness, they'll carry your body wherever it needs to go to free your soul! In Volume 2, The Corpse Delivery Service has helped the dead who wanted justice from the living. Now, think about how many living people would like to take vengeance on the dead. What if it were possible? When Sasaki realizes that the latest corpse in their office is the man who murdered her parents years ago, the Kurosagi crew learns of a far darker business than their own, in this intensely disturbing one-volume story.

Set in a Buddhist college in Japan, a group of five students uses their unique abilities to assist the deceased in fulfilling their last wishes. In this sixth installment, they tackle eccentric cases, including thwarting a politician's censorship of a fujoshi acupuncturist, navigating a zombie movie shoot in Shanghai, and exploring the fate of Kereellis's puppet sister. With nine new bizarre stories, the Kurosagi gang faces their oddest challenges yet, blending humor, supernatural elements, and poignant themes of life and death.

Five students at a Buddhist college in Japan realize the job market is tough these days...among the living, that is! But their unique spiritual and scientific talents might help them get work from the dead, for they can contact the spirits of corpses and speak with them. And if a body is found hanging from a tree or lying in an alley, it's probably got a story to tell! The five form The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service, specializing in carrying out the last wishes of their dead clients, so their souls can move on. But the Kurosagi gang are magnets for weirdness--not just corpses--and every case gets them involved in disturbing personal obsessions, bizarre modern Tokyo fads, and strange rituals of old Japan...and often all at once!

The Kurosagi gang encounters more bizarre horror as weird folktales of Japan reemerge with new faces in the modern day! The Corpse Delivery Service finds they're being beaten to their clients by a bike-riding pilgrim with electrical means to reanimate the dead...a virtual gaming world may have some players online but no longer alive...a child convincted of murdering her family is paroled under a new identity to the very school where the crew has gotten part-time jobs. Plus five other strange stories!

全貌が闇に包まれたままの、学窓と呼ばれる組織。その正体に近づく重要な鍵、 西園弖虎がさらわれた。 彼を手に入れた人物は、いったい何を行おうとしているのか? そして、“覚醒”に至った“ルーシーXX”とは...? 物語の核心に触れる重要なエピソードが語られる衝撃の第6巻!!

Detektive auf heißer Spur! Im Jahr 2290 ermitteln die Detektive Jonosuke und Nemu als Mitglieder des 'Japan Detective Club'. Diese Organisation muss bei jedem Mordfall an den Tatort gerufen werden. Auch die Spürnasen des 'BDC', drei geheimnisvolle Schüler mit außergewöhnlichen Fähigkeiten, helfen mit, scheinbar unlösbare Verbrechen aufzuklären …

Ein (Alb)Traum wird wahr! Die deutsche Manga-Szene hat lange auf die erste deutschsprachige Ausgabe dieses zeitlosen Klassikers gewartet, der nun endlich erscheint. Yosuke Kobayashi, ein Polizist, ermittelt in einer bizarren Mordserie. Während seiner Ermittlungen wird er persönlich in den Fall verwickelt und entwickelt aufgrund der dramatischen Ereignisse eine dissoziative Identitätsstörung. Die Jagd nach dem Serienkiller endet katastrophal: Yosuke wird wegen Mordes verurteilt und landet im Gefängnis, bleibt jedoch der Mordkommission als Profiler erhalten. In Tokyo wütet eine „Serienmörder-Epidemie“ mit äußerst kreativen und brutalen Tätern, die trotz ihrer Unterschiede eine mysteriöse Gemeinsamkeit aufweisen – einen Strichcode im linken Auge. Diese Geschichte zieht die Leser*innen in einen albtraumartigen Strudel voller eigenartiger Protagonisten und brutaler Schockmomente. Der realistische und kontrastreiche Zeichenstil von Sho-u Tajima verstärkt die Herausforderung der Erzählung und schafft unvergessliche Bilder. Der erste Band dieses umstrittenen Psychothrillers erschien 1997, brillant geschrieben von Eiji Otsuka, und die Serie endete 2016 mit insgesamt 24 Bänden ohne deutschsprachige Umsetzung. HAYABUSA veröffentlicht die komplette Reihe ungeschnitten und unzensiert in 12 hochwertigen Doppelbänden.

Der Countdown läuft. Ein Aufeinandertreffen von Appare und dem neuen Gründungs-Detektiv Jonosuke Ryugu scheint unausweichlich. Es soll ein Kampf werden, der das Geschick der Menschheit entscheidet. Doch Appare ist nicht allein. Zuruko und Yutaka setzen sich wieder in Bewegung, und auch der Verleger U-Yama hat noch eine Aufgabe zu erledigen.
