When Hiro Hiyorimi tries to save a beautiful young woman from certain death, he ends up a dead hero himself! However, since the drop-dead girl is Hime, daughter of the King of the Monsters, his "reward" is to come back as a not-quite-living soldier in her honor guard of horror! That means helping fight off the army of s…

After being brutally murdered along with her family, Makina Hoshimura turns into a Shikabane Hime, a living corpse contracted to the Kougon Cult, in order to exert revenge on the mysterious undead organization responsible for her death. She is assisted in this task by Keisei Tagami, her contracted priest and former friend. This series follows the story of Keisei’s younger brother Ouri, a boy with an unusual attraction to death, who slowly discovers his brother’s secret and gets dragged into the world of the Shikabanes.

Shikibane Hime are essentially undead women who must battle with Shikabane with the assistance of their Kougon Sect monk masters. Upon reaching 108 Shikabane kills, they are finally allowed to leave this world and get into heaven. However for Makina, this is only secondary to her primary objective – defeating those Shikabane responsible for the deaths of herself and her family.

When people die with really strong regrets, there is a chance that their bodies will not leave this world. People that end up like this are known as Shikibane and they are powered by their strongest and most unresolved regrets. To battle these are a monk sect known as the Kougon Sect that work with undead warrior women known as Shikabane Hime.

What makes this story so interesting is that not only do each of the characters have their own motivations for hunting down Shikabane, or working within the Kougon Sect, but they all have such unique personalities. For example, the main characters older adoptive brother is a massive goofball with a serious side to him, whereas his Shikabane Hime is incredibly focused and dangerous.

In this series, each of the characters look fairly unique which makes identifying them much easier. For instance, no two Shikabane Hime look the same. However, there is an exception to this rule in relation to some of the lesser characters in the Kougon Sect. I’m pretty sure I saw the same bald-headed monk three times in one scene.

What’s really great about Corpse Princess Shikibane Hime Complete Collection is that it comes with some pretty solid Special Features. The special features include commentaries, trailer and textless endings and openings. Whilst this may seem standard to most anime fans, it feels as though most current releases have been neglecting things like these.

Corpse Princess Shikabane Hime Complete Collection is an amazing package over an amazing series. Whilst it is not a work of art in any stretch, it is incredibly detailed and fluid that it doesn’t really matter. The show is also able to provide a fair amount of feels throughout the story which is always a plus for me. Anime fans will not find any regrets in purchasing this series.

A direct continuation of Shikabane Hime: Aka, taking place six months after Tagami Keisei's death at the hands of the Shichisei (Seven Stars), a group of elite Shikabane who act on more than just regrets. As per Keisei's dying wish, Kagami Ouri formed a temporary contract with Makina to save her from degenerating into a Shikabane. Since then, Ouri's been training to become a proper monk so that he can remain contracted to Makina and help her fight against the Shichisei — the ones who originally killed Makina, the entire Hoshimura family, and now Keisei. However, the traitorous monk Shishidou Akasha has sided with the Shichisei in an attempt to destroy all Shikabane Hime and the entire monk organization that uses them — Kougon Sect.

This special follows the story of how Isaki Shuuji and Ruo Minai became Contracted Priest and Shikabane Hime.
