Absolutely batshit insane-o, and this seems to be the mangaka's bread and butter, and for that there is no shame in the game! Astra Ashima provides the wildest plots with non-sensical moments and joke after joke. They won't all hit (one of the most popular gags is someone named Ono getting dismembered/beheaded repeatedly and people saying "oh no, Ono!" and I eat that shit up every single time). It is unpredictable and the character design is a blend of cute and hardcore, metal meets kawaii aesthetics but not Babymetal, if you know what I mean.
The plot is that there's a woman who works with corpse
...
disposal and she manages to reanimate a serial killer who she's obsessed with, he's not so keen on being alive again. That's honestly as much as a distilled plot I can give, you really don't need more because unfortunately, the manga is a short sub-20 chapter ode to wild moments. Of course, there's growth in the characters and a main conflict where the antagonist (a sadistic warden who wants the perfect convict who he can kill forever) is somewhat thrwarted, but due to the brevity of this run, it's very hard to advance the plot in such short amount of time.
It's short and fun, and there's an absolutely stupid (respectfully) and funny backstory extra chapter about the feud between birds and crabs, it's so silly and cute. It might get repetitive here and there, but the manga's got heart and it's a fascinating way to explore gore without overtly being gore, like the mangaka found a strange way to make it PG gore with all the violence, it might be due to the main character's cute disposition of rainbows and unicorns despite literally being a morgue necromancer. Fun stuff.
