Dead Company

Ryoko Kui, the acclaimed creator of Delicious in Dungeon, turns her incisive eye to the modern office in this three-issue series from Carlsen Comics (2021–2022). Dead Company follows a new hire at a game development firm, only to discover that the company's "normal" corporate grind is haunted by a literal ghost in the machine. Kui's signature blend of deadpan humor, detailed world-building, and deep empathy for the overlooked makes this a sharp, surreal satire of workplace culture. It matters as a compact, standalone showcase of Kui's skill at finding the fantastic in the mundane, long before her global breakout.
