Today's manga is one I find to be very interesting. The subject matter is very interesting in and of itself but the way the mangaka wrote and illustrated this story just makes it that much better. When I picked this up the first time I didn't even check to see who the mangaka was but to my pleasant surprise it was Mihara-sensei (some of you will know her from Gothic Lolita Bible.) At any rate. This story gives you a good view of the life of an embalmer in Japan. I'm mainly sharing it because my mom enjoys having me watch The Bachelor with her and this last season there was a female embalmer who was eliminated mainly because of her profession. So. Hopefully this will help others to view embalmers differently. Hope you enjoy.
