Dead Mount Death Play


A necromancer known as the Corpse God is targeted by a man known for taking down opponents far stronger than him. Shagrua Edith Lugrid also known as the Calamity Crusher can see the dead, an ability he shares with the Corpse God. As they fight The Corpse God is brought to the brink of destruction, but right before he dies, The Corpse God uses a reincarnation spell. He wakes up in an abandoned alley in the body of a boy named Polka Shinoyama who had just been killed. Needless to say this caused a commotion for both the police and the hitmen who had taken him out. His Killer Misaki Sakimiya comes after him again but is killed and brought back as a zombie. After learning of his power Misaki's boss Clarissa lends Polka a place to stay as well as the help of two of her subordinates Misaki and Takumi Kuruya. Together they start their own fortune telling business using Polka's ability to speak with Ghosts as help in getting information on their clients. But while Polka dreams of a quiet life, he is in for a big surprise as he learns about the history of Shinjuku as well as the building he currently inhabits.

Dead Mount Death Play was a lot more interesting than I thought it would be. I was expecting an Isekai when I first heard about it, but was met with a Reverse Isekai. It starts out hard to watch, but gets better the farther you get into it. It stays mostly clean, but there is a shower scene where both Polka's Cousin and Misaki are undressed, as well as scenes where girls are dressed immodestly in the bar that Clarissa owns. I think it is worth a watch, but it does have a darker feel than most anime, which I know isn't for everyone. Though if you like Mystery anime I would suggest giving it a try.
