Ghost Soup Page #3

to his ghost soup!

He has some every year,

but it never works!

The soup works differentlly for everyone.

You sure he's not

just stubborn?

This whole city's full of

unquiet ghosts, but.

the living don't notice them.

They're all alone, living with

their memories of this world...

...their grudges, their hatreds...

They're not living!

lt's the same thing.

lt's the opposite!

They're all waiting for us.

For our ghost soup.

Are we going to

let them all down?

Well, if you put it

that way...

Since the beginning

our motto has been...

...''with heart & taste''

Our soup is a once-a-year

tradition of ascension...

...to those spirits who cannot

rise to heaven themselves.

We can't give up!

Then what do we do?

lf we must, we go to war!

What?

l will preserve the ghost soup

if l have to burn to do it!

You're going to change places

with Private Sakata?!

Mal! To arms!

lf you insist.

All right, lchiro!

No more mister nice guy!

You won't stop us!

Hi. l've been waiting.

Shut up and fight!

People are waiting.

Hurry up and finish the soup.

Huh?

Don't just stand there!

lt's soup time!

l turned around,

but it was too late.

Next thing l knew the truck

tire was going over me.

Next thing l knew...

...l was dead!

Wow! ...you look great!

...when you'redressed up...

l look great when l'm not too!

l'll get you for that!

Agh! You got me!

What's he doing?!

No luck.

Don't worry.

l guess my duty

is not yet fulfilled.

But the Showa emperor's dead...

Shh! We're forbidden

to tell him that!

Doesn't he know?

Of course not!

He'd kill himself!

Can he do that?

He knows. He just

won't admit it.

Poser!

Next is Uncle HaHa

from Engei Hall in Shinjuku.

Uncle HaHa? ls he new?

He died of a heart attack

last March 25th...

...during a show by Sanyutei Enraku,

a rakugo comic storyteller.

That's a nice way to go.

Why is he stuck in this world?

He died while he was

listening to a joke...

...but before the punch line.

Oh!forget him, Next!

Hey...it's snowing.

That strange pair hasn't

appeared since then.

Nor has Private Sakata.

But l can't help feeling

l'll see them again.

Maybe around next Christmas...

But with those guys,

you never know.

Yes?

So you have a TV!

Oh, that...l just borrowed it

from a friend.

And that's one of our shows!

l just switched it on...

No more excuses!

Fill out this form.

Where's my pen?

Postal code, name...

Oh, and there's something

l forgot to tell you.

l still find it hard to believe.

Can l ask you one last thing?

What?

Don't you drink the soup?

Us? Of course not.

Don't you want to ascend?

We're not ghosts, you know.

What's this?

Ow!

Hey! Don't pull it out!

Pervert!

What are you doing?!

No way!

We're volunteers, you know.

We don't make a penny

on this.

That's right.

l guess you can have that.

To remember me by.

Time to go, Nana.

Hey, you're right! lt's time!

See ya!

Hey...

Can't you fly?

l won't believe who you are

if you don't!

Seriously!

...Unbelievable...
