The souls of the newly-departed are afforded one last wish. If they so choose, they may write a letter to one still-living person. The heart of the sender, their thoughts and feelings, are laid bare in this letter, called a Shigofumi.
Line 6:
A girl named Fumika, with her partner, a talking staff named Kanaka, is one of the souls who deliver these Shigofumi. Except Fumika isn't like the other letter carriers. Since she took up the mantle of letter carrier for the dead, she's continued aging. Since all the letter carriers should already be dead themselves, this poses something of a mystery for Fumika and her coworkers, especially her friend Chiaki. Moreover, she bears a suspicious resemblance to a girl who used to go to a school in her delivery zone. A girl who's now comatose in a nearby hospital after shooting her father. Why is Fumika such an abnormal letter carrier? And what connection, if any, does she have with that comatose girl she visits so often?
 
''[['''Shigofumi]]: Letters from the Departed''''', also known as '''''Shigofumi: Stories of Last Letter''''' (シゴフミ ~Stories of Last Letter~) in Japan and '''''Shigofumi''''', is a [[Twelve-Episode Anime|Thirteen Episode Anime]] from [[J.C.Staff]], [[Bandai Visual]], and GENCO. Early on, the series follows Fumika as she touches on the lives of those who receive Shigofumi. After one particularly eventful delivery, though, the show shifts the focus to Fumika herself, as it slowly unravels the mystery behind her and the girl in the hospital.
