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). These letters are written by people after they die and are delivered to the person the letter is addressed to in the living world. 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. 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. In contrast to Fumika who is quiet and serious about her job, Kanaka is loud and boisterous. The story follows Fumika and Kanaka as they interact with the living via the shigofumi.
Light novels Shigofumi was first released as a series of light novels written by Ryo Amamiya, and drawn by Poko. Despite the novels being produced first, the anime series is considered by Tomoro Yuzawa as the original work. The novels are published by MediaWorks under their Dengeki Bunko shōnen label. The first novel was released on October 10, 2006, and as of November 10, 2007, three volumes have been published. The fourth, and final, volume will be published on March 10, 2008. The story from the novels differs somewhat from that of the anime.

The official Japanese website for the Shigofumi supernatural suspense anime has announced on Friday that the eighth episode ("Hajimari" or "Beginning") will be edited for television "in light of recent circumstances in the society at large." The same website used almost exactly the same wording in January to confirm that the third episode ("Tomodachi" or "Friends") was edited also. Like the previous time, the announcement gave no future explanation for the changes. The sixth episode ("Sakebi" or "Shout") was preempted by Sun TV, one of the eight stations broadcasting the series over the air.
Shigofumi centers on Fumika, a messenger who sends the last letters from the dearly departed to those left behind. The eighth episode will premiere in Japan on Saturday, February 23. Bandai Visual USA will release the first DVD volume of this anime in North America on May 13, less than two months after the first Japanese DVD's release on March 25.

Some clarification, Fumika in anime and novel are different, the Fumika in anime afraid of cat while the other one is insect. And the one in novel loves to play shogi, though she plays on only intuition alone. The talking staff in novel called Mayama instead of Kanaka and has a young boy's voice but not nyoron. 12 last episode:
