The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service: Book Four Omnibus [Paperback]

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! Pick of the Week... The tales of five Buddhist university students who help free souls trapped in their corpses are, at turns, disturbing, touching and funny. -Kevin Melrose,Blog@Newsarama

It actually reminds me a lot of Mike Allred's work...it's an attractive book, and the stories are just beginning to really showcase Yamazaki's abilities as an artist. -Greg McElhatton,Read About Comics
