Shikabane Hime (屍姫, lit. Corpse Princess) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yoshiichi Akahito. Premiering in Monthly Shonen Gangan on April 12, 2005, the on-going series centers around the "Corpse Princess" Makina Hoshimura, an undead girl who is hunting down 108 undead corpses in order to gain entry into heaven with the help of a secret society of anti-corpse Buddhist monks.

A second season, Kuro, is already slated to begin in January 2009.
