    Synopsis:

    In a world where unspoken words linger beyond death, a unique profession exists: shigofumi delivery. These letters, imbued with the emotions of the deceased – love, regret, even bitterness – are carried from the afterlife to the living by individuals like Fumika. Accompanied by Kanaka, her sentient magical staff, Fumika navigates a delicate world of emotional residue, ensuring each message finds its intended recipient, regardless of the impact it may have.

    The series explores themes of grief, hidden histories, and the weight of unspoken truths. Through delivering these poignant missives, Fumika is confronted with the intimate moments of others, yet her own past remains veiled in mystery. The narrative unfolds with a quiet intensity, focusing on atmosphere and character interaction as it examines the interconnectedness of life and death, prompting reflection on the power of communication – both spoken and unspoken.
