ShortReview: You are Manny Calavera, a skeleton in an after-life adventure. Manny is trying to get to the ninth underworld, as are all the other dead souls. To get to the ninth underworld he must pay off his debts from his previous life. In order to pay off his debts he must become a travel agent to the newly dead souls who will be starting their 4-year journey to the ninth underworld. Once he has accumulated enough 'premium souls', who do not have any debts to pay off (and get to take a much faster trip, only 4 DAYS, on the number 9, which is a train that takes them straight to the ninth underworld), he can get to the ninth underworld.
