Visually the book continues to be absolutely solid thanks to skills of Housui Yamazaki, It’s clean, easy to follow and he’s got a great sense of pacing for the more disturbing and horrific moments. It not only tells a rather disturbing tale that mixes historical fact into it’s tapestry but it also expands upon one of the characters histories and gives some possible hints regarding his particular mystery and “origin”.

The final tale involving a certain dictatorship on the Korean peninsula is clever and focuses on the supporting cast as the two unofficial leads of the series are away for some unknown reason. It does a fantastic job at nailing the mix of humor and horror that makes the series such a treat to read. While the comedy is far more prominent it doesn’t really shy away from the disturbing imagery. The second tale, probably my favorite for this volume, focuses on an ill fated romance between two would be stand up comedians. The first is a twist on the idea of prisoners being forced to play online games as part of their punishments and while it’s not inherently funny there’s a certain visual that runs through it that’s both hilarious and kind of creepy. It also doesn’t hurt that the one offs in this volume are pretty fun. Thankfully Dark Horse has been slow to release volumes of the series so by the time one does come out you’re so starved for it that you don’t really mind the fact that the volume consists of three one offs. This usually kind of annoys me since there are some mysteries and counting story arcs at the center of the series and for the past several volumes they’ve just kind of meandered showing the KCDS crew taking on various jobs here and there. This particular volume continues the trend of shorter more stand alone tales though there are a few continuing subplots. It’s absolutely hilarious, well drawn and genuinely scary and disturbing in many areas. They communicate with them, solve mysteries, transport corpses and more all for a fee which often comes from the corpses belongings. A group of students at a Buddhist university are having trouble putting their unique skills and talents to use in the real world (embalming, dowsing, etc) so they come together via a college club and end up dealing with the dead.
