What is Shigofumi About?#
Shigofumi - Letters from the Departed is a blend of drama, psychological thriller, and supernatural elements. The story centers on Fumika and her companion, Kanaka—who happens to be a talking staff. Together, they serve as mail carriers for “shigofumi,” which are letters sent from the deceased to those still living.
