The Empire of Corpses

屍者の帝国

In an alternate 19th-century Britain where reanimated corpses do the work of the living, medical student John Watson secretly revives his dead friend and names him Friday. Caught using illegal Necroware, Watson is recruited by the agent known as M and sent abroad to recover Victor Frankenstein's lost notes on giving the dead a true soul, the manuscript called The Victor's Notes, before the engineer Alexei Karamazov can use it.
