@MOKALI But the setting is not similar though. SDK is in late Sengoku era, early Edo while this is in late Edo, early Meiji where Japan has started modernization and everyone started wearing Western clothes.
@kenx I remember a manga similar to this from a while ago, I think it was about a guy carrying his dead wife a coffin on his back and going around to get *something* to revive her, does that sound like it? Although if that's the case I also can't remember the name currently.
@grenzoocoon It's called Marry Grave. Another masterpiece axed... Sigh. I think the author missed it by not assembling a larger "team"/main cast of characters and focusing too much on the morbidity of the lead carrying the corpse around. (And maybe the target audience had difficulty relating to an adult married man?) It's a pity, he's a heckuva lot more likeable than most recent fantasy shounen leads.
