Plot
After being murdered, Makina Hoshimura turns into a "living shikabane (corpse)". Armed with dual MAC-11 submachine guns, she must kill 108 other shikabane in order to gain entry into heaven. She is assisted in this task by Keisei Tagami, a Buddhist monk with links to an anti-corpse group known as the Kougun Sect. Her ultimate goal is to avenge the death of her family, by destroying the shikabane known as the Seven Stars.
