Psychic Buddhists with deadpan humor investigate grotestque murders
4 stars
An eclectic group of Buddhist college students come together to fulfill the last wishes of their clients– corpses of the recently deceased! The main characters really make this series for me, with their go-lucky demeanor juxtaposing some gory murder scenes. Their investigations through the use of their collective psychic abilities lead them to uncover some truly fucked up situations. The chapters end in usually satisfying ways, but some of the endings felt a little too convenient. The illustrations are great too, setting a spooky tone with rich environments, although since it's a series written in Japan in the early 2000s, there are definitely more questionable depictions of women's bodies than I'd like. Overall I'll probably pick this series back up when I need a good creepy graphic novel.
