A sketch of Yata's relative from the Meiji period. He has wavy hair that covers his eyes, is wearing a haori over a kimono, and holds an Ichimatsu doll. This is a clay doll of a young girl with inset glass eyes, long hair, a bow, and kimono.

I wish the pupper was an Ichimatsu doll, like this sketch from Yamazaki's Twitter from like... 2019?

It's not actually Yata, but a Meiji era relative because it was going to be from a Yaichi story. From what I recall of the Google translate I did, his story was too dark to include??

Manga double spread of a title page from the upcoming chapters of Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. To the left is a drawing of a kago, a kind of litter or palanquin used by commoners. Inside is what looks like a body wrapped in white fabric. To the right is Japanese text: 江戸の世にはびこる悪を黒鷺が斬る! 黒鷺屍人辻駕籠便 From right to left are 6 boxes with Karatsu, Numata, Makino, Yata and Kereellis, Sasayama, and Sasaki.

INGRID DON'T LOOK JUST IN CASEEEE

New KCDS AU?

Looks like the upcoming chapters will be set in the late Edo period and 🤞 they're adults again 🤞

The high school 90s AU has been fun enough, I just prefer them as adults 🫠

The minorest of minor #KCDSSpoilers, but I've been thinking about Yata and Karatsu a lot recently

Particularly this bit from vol. 27 where Yata jumps in the van next to Karatsu, and then just... stays in the same seat?

He's sitting higher than Karatsu. Is he perching on a thigh there??

NUMBER 1!

From volume 28, and probably the only story that doesn't actually involve a corpse!

Cute AI robot girl writes a novel and then gains sentience (in that order)

2. Volume 16 has a crossover chapter with another of Otsuka's manga called Todenka.

This story's about rescuing children from abusive parents so I don't know what to say about this one 🥲

The chapter titles are songs by Yellow Magic Orchestra.

3. Volume 24, Numata gets to be a wrestler in Mexico

The chapter cover for this is a wall of text about wrestling, so I'm going to use Numata dressed as a grasshopper instead. God, he's cute.

7. From volume 22, they're reunited and it feels so good 💖

KCDS was cancelled after volume 21 and I don't know why. Otsuka and Yamazaki released 3 volumes of another manga (Yata was in it!) and then KCDS returned! There was a timeskip and now Karatsu’s a criminal and Sasaki’s rich!

I'll tag #KCDSSpoilers if the stories are post volume 15
