Dark Horse has announced the upcoming English translation of Sanho’s Purgatory Funeral Cakes, Volume 1. Translated by Danny Lim and lettered by Michael Heisler, the translated edition is planned for publication November 18, 2025. It runs 224 pages.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Baker Mago and her ghostly assistant Miro make specialty cakes for the dearly departed. Each cake is made custom tailored to the lost individual. Still-living loved ones share their memories of the deceased which serve as inspiration for the flavors and style, creating a truly one- of-a-kind cake. First, a mystery novelist spends her time volunteering at a hospital to read to patients and meets a blind young woman who grew up in the hospital. The two bond over mystery novels, inspiring the Mystery Novel Crepe cake, a cake made with crepe layers like the pages of a book. Then, the daughter of a vampire reminisces over her daytime life and the hours that separated her from her night-bound mother, and the moments they shared in an evening primrose field inspiring the Evening Primrose Cupcake. The love and care put into each cake will surely bring comfort to both living and dead in this heartwarming story of love and loss.
