KUROSAGI CORPSE DELIVERY SERVICE 11

Paint it black! Designer Bunpei Yorifuji darkens the iconic cover design in honor of the sinister Class Cutter in Kurosagi's longest story since volume 2, inspired by one of the most infamous Japanese crimes of recent years. Can a girl who committed a brutal murder in grade school ever truly return to society . . and why does Sasayama insist on dragging the Corpse Delivery Service into it? ''Volume nine is back to the hyper-informed horror synthesis of ideas that has made Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service a favorite. What originally seemed to rely on gross out spectacles has continually proven to be a remarkably smart take on spooky standards.'' -Ain't it Cool News * ''I was sold by the first few pages . It's a lot of fun. It's a warped Saturday-morning cartoon for grown-ups.'' -David Welsh, Comic World News
