Shigofumi: Letters from the Departed

Some words never make it out while a person is still alive. In *Shigofumi: Letters from the Departed*, those unspoken feelings can take shape as “shigofumi” — letters sent from the dead to the living, born from powerful emotions such as love, yearning, or bitterness. The reserved and enigmatic Fumika serves as a courier for these final messages, traveling with her talkative magical staff, Kanaka, to deliver each letter to its intended recipient.

As the shigofumi reach people who may dread what’s inside, Fumika becomes a silent witness to grief, regret, and the secrets that surface in the wake of death. Yet the most elusive mystery remains her own: the past she keeps hidden, and who she was before becoming a bearer of the departed’s words.
