Customer Reviews

A few more comments

The other reviewers provide a good summary of the plot and assessment of the manga's quality, but I wanted to add a comment about the art: The rendering of figure (especially hands and feet) is quite awkward frequently, and the characters are - let's say - strange in appearance. If you are a reader of much mainstream and high quality manga, expect to be jarred by the awkwardness of the art. The story and characterization more than made it up for me, and I will continue to read, but I am still bothered by the art. It's style of rendering figure is very similar to Doll if you've read that.

Hey, who knew the embalmer had a story to tell?

This Manga (Comic) is a lot like Tarot Cafe, in the aspect it tells the stories of each body the embalmer embalms... The stories are rather sad, so, if you get emotional easily, and don't enjoy that, then you probably shouldn't read it... If you thrive on the drama of life and death, then you ought to like this Manga. I personally don't support embalming, but the Manga is good...
