Fumika is almost always calm and speaks in a low monotonic voice. Though typically the shigofumi mail carriers are people who have already died, and thus do not age, Fumika is different in that she ages at the same rate as a normal person, signifying that she has not died yet but is merely in a state of astral projection. These shigofumi are letters written by those who have recently died, and it is Fumika's job to deliver the letters to whoever the dead wanted them to go to. She works as a mail carrier from the afterlife realm of Shigo, delivering what are known as "shigofumi" to people in a Japanese city that she has been assigned to. She appears to be a young girl, though her real age is never mentioned. The mail carriers are usually now-dead humans who do not age, and take on the appearance of just before they died, but Fumika does age, signifying that she is not dead yet.Ĭharacters Fumika ( フミカ/文歌) Voiced by: Kana Ueda Fumika is the main character in the anime series. When they are not delivering letters from the dead, they are in another realm called Shigo. Shigofumi mail carriers are assigned a specific area that they deliver letters to, just like a normal mail carrier. The story follows Fumika and Kanaka as they interact with the living via the shigofumi. In contrast to Fumika who is quiet and serious about her job, Kanaka is loud and boisterous. Accompanying Fumika is her talking staff Kanaka which can also float of its own accord and likes to be treated as if "she" were a human.

The letters contain things that the now-deceased could not say while they were alive, such as things they wanted to say before they died, or even to inform others about who killed them in the case of a murder.

These letters are written by people after they die and are delivered to the person the letter is addressed to in the living world. Shigofumi primarily centers around a young-looking girl named Fumika who works as a mail carrier to deliver "after death letters" ( 死後文, shigofumi).

Sentai Filmworks picked up the license and released the entire series on DVD in 2010. However, the release was cancelled and Bandai Visual closed its North American branch. The title Shigofumi comes from the combination of the Japanese words for "after death" ( 死後, shigo), and " letter" ( 文, fumi), which literally translates to an "after death letter". The anime was acquired by Bandai Visual for English language localization. Despite the novels being produced first, the anime is considered the original work, as stated by Yuzawa. Four novels were published by MediaWorks under their Dengeki Bunko imprint between October 2006 and March 2008.
