Mitsukazu Mihara's profoundly moving look at life and death returns as Shinjyurou encounters desperate souls in his journey to uncover what it truly means to be alive... A dying wish, a tortured widower, a last-grasp at humanity, and a cleansing rain--these are just a few of the painfully honest clues to life that take Shinjyurou closer to the definitive answer to the ultimate question...
Mitsukazu Mihara debuted in 1994 with the short "Gomu no Iranai Kodomo-tachi," which won a contest in the magazine Feeling Young. Famous for the Gothic Lolita fashions that she dresses her characters in, Mihara-sensei is considered a master of the short story. Besides Shigeshoshi, she is also the creator of Doll, Beaautiful People, RIP: Requiem in Phonybrian, Haunted House and IC in a Sunflower, all of which will be published in the United State by TOKYOPOP

I didn't think anything would ever surpass my love for her Doll series and then I picked this up. But seriously, when does the last volume come out?

I adore this series because I, myself, are currently studying to be an embalmer at my college. Shinjyurou is almost like a role model to me for some odd reason. Thank you Mitsukazu Mihara for giving this girl more reading on embalming...even if it's just for fun. ^_^

Odd how we're kept dangling for nearly a year for the end of a series about closure. I get the feeling I'll be terribly sad to see Shinjyurou go. Still waiting...
