If I’d known this book was by the hack who wrote the execrable MPD Psycho I wouldn’t have bothered. Eiji Otsuka: remember this name and steer well clear - Kurosagi Corpse is gaahbage!
They’re called “kurosagi” because those are black storks that take away the dead as opposed to white storks that bring babies. That’s literally the only detail in the entire book that was worth reading. The rest of it - wow. It’s a masterclass in shite comics!
A Buddhist student needs money - so he joins a volunteer service?! Right away it doesn’t make sense - volunteers don’t get paid, ya dummy! But he just happens to get recruited by the person running the shitshow and he just happens to have special powers and the rest of the group just happen to have special powers, all conveniently required to do this bizarre service of… corpse… saving… or something? How do corpses pay you to avenge them or carry out their final wishes?? This series doesn’t make ANY SENSE!!
Oh and speaking of convenient powers, one guy with a skull ring is able to stop a speeding van by punching it - it’s never established that he has this power and he never does it again. It’s the shoddiest writing.
Anyways, they’re off to the mega-contrived races, just like that, and the stories are ultra-dumb - imagine a trashy Scooby-Doo but even derpier. One guy stitches together body pieces from multiple corpses to make a “perfect corpse” just because he’s fucked up! And the characters know immediately that he’s the guy doing it and in that moment they looked as bored as I was reading it!
One guy is an insurance claims adjuster who can control the weather through maths or something?! One priest has scores of corpses in his hut in the middle of Tokyo - why? Don’t they have regulations for disposing of the dead?!
Utterly ‘tarded from start to finish, Kurosagi Corpse is an extremely boring and brain dead manga!
