Five graduates of a Buddhist university find their supernatural talents useless for ordinary jobs, so they put them to work for the dead instead. Kuro Karatsu can hear corpses and briefly speak for them, helped by a scarred spirit named Yaichi. Alongside dowser Makoto Numata, embalmer Keiko Makino, puppet-channeling Yuji Yata and hacker Ao Sasaki, he forms the Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. The crew tracks down bodies, learns their final wishes, and carries them wherever they need to go to rest.
