Rami Record (라미레코드, Ramirekodeu) or Rami's Record is a webtoon written, drawn and colored by Youngsoon Yang.
It was unfortunately ended. It was serialized August 8 ~ October 14, 2008 in the 'Yahoo! Cartoon World' which is Yahoo! Korea's webtoon service. But When Yahoo! Korea ended on December 31, 2012, the author re-serialized this in Denma after the end of A Catnap A.E.
It has been translated into Japanese. Japanese version (Ip bypass required) Japanese version ((S.E.) ラミレコード, Ramirekōdo) is the version of Rami Record that translated in Japan. It's serialized by Line Webtoon. It's started on June 8, and it's closed on 29, 2015.
In the English version, the translator skips this work and translates 2. A.E., so the readers protest that why skips this work. This is because there is a religious problem (Christianity) in (1) (Korean, In Denma, it's (1) too) and a political problem (North Korean defectors) in throughout the plot. It may be a copyright issue with Yahoo ! Cartoon World, but it may not be because the Japanese version has been translated.
If this work isn't translated after January 5, 2019, when the Chapter 2 2. A.E. ends, it'll written the translation of it here.

Boy: Rami! Where's my gym clothes?
Rami: You bastard! You didn't pull it out again in the washing machine, did you?
Boy: Ah...
Rami: Do not fight, listen to your teacher!
Boy: It's noisy!
Rami: Geez! You beyotch still hasn't deposited.
My name is Rami!
Rami: Wanna die? Take the money right now, run to me!
I'm a Pre-Priestess (shaman) who's attending mission school, the House of Dancing Flowers, which is established by Church of Madonna. The church body serves both the Mother Madonna and St. Joshua.
Rami: I won't deal with you in the future.
Rami's friend: A-ing... Money-mi... Please.
We're given a role to look for the body of Saint Joshua along with the Guardian priests. It's a duty that must be accomplished if Deva, the top priestess of the church body, is my future hope.
Rami's friend: Ahhhh!
Girl: Uh? There!
There are many friends here, in the House of Dancing Flowers who want to become Deva like me.
Rami's another friend: Deva Agnes!
Rami's friend: Wow! She waves a hand for us!
Another girl: Agnes!
Rami's friend: Whoa... so cool! I want to be like her! Oh... if so, how many people can I give love to?
Rami's another friend: If I become a Deva, I will really work hard to help those who suffer. What about Rami?
Rami: The church body's salary card of the Priestess, current monthly limit 600 dollar! Deva, monthly minimum 30 thousand dollar! Deva! I'll become it!
Rami's friend, Rami's another friend: 'What... what? I feel like I've been bitten by something...'
The motivation for becoming a Deva is different, but the competition that is invisible to friends who've the same dreams is really fierce.
Monk: How is Jay and Soy doing?
Rami: Thanks to your care, they're doing fine. Monk, will you continue to call me this weekend as a flower garden?
Monk: Who dares to touch the part-time job that Rami has dibs on?
Cafeteria staff: Here, your last month's salary. I like it, but can you still help me?
Rami: You’re welcome. This is what I do in House of Dancing Flowers. I appreciate that.
Cleaner: You've been working hard. I put a few extra money on the assumption that you will continue to help me.
Rami: Thank you. I'll put an intercessory prayer to the Mother Madonna.
Rami: Hahhhh... not enough. We can't survive with such this money in this month. In addition, Jay and Soy's behindhand school support fees and their special activity expenses...
Girl: What? Really? I'm going nuts! I'm going to the Holy visit tomorrow...
Rami: ?
Girl's friend: Well, at the party tomorrow Jeongmuwon's young gentlemen and hunks in province all participate!
＊Holy visit: It's a business trip to parallel universes according to the instructions of church body to find the Saint Joshua's body.
Girl: Ugh, it's frustrating! I don't know why Holy visit is such a thing. Why should we fill in the quota for the ampoule? Nowadays who's going to find Joshua's reincarnated body and become Deva? 99% will become Deva according to their grades. This makes people tired.
Girl's friend: I don't know how it works.
Girl: The church should rather let us give more tutoring at that time, but they give such a trouble to preliminary nobles like us!
Girl's friend: Since the establishment of the House of Dancing Flowers, the person who found Joshua's reincarnated body and become Devas are the only two who has ever been. If someone goes to a Holy visit and gets hurt in an accident or die, the church only prayer.
Girl: Why did the church gives the money-less and the back-groundless children's work to us? Anyway, what about the party tomorrow?
Girl's friend: What are you doing? There you have to give Miser do a Holy visit!
Rami: *Smile* I'm agency Holy visit Miser. Are you having a party tomorrow? You may know the price... Now, pay half of the advance cash now.
Girl's friend: Oh! I think she heard our conversation.
Girl: D... do you have to pay in cash right now?
Rami: You bitch! Don't you get your money fast?
Girl's friend: 'Don't... touch me! This is the madness of the humble person! But why am I tries to give the money for her?'
Boy: Tomorrow? Again? What Holy visit do you go so often? You go to play like that, when will you study? You loafer!
Rami: I'm studying now. Jay, you have to take good care of Soy until I come.
Jay: So, did you have your boyfriend? So you're just going to stay out overnight? Huh? Huh?
Rami: If you have an urgent situation, call Monk Franco or Yujin...
Thud
Rami: !
The 3rd Great Delphys. The third hall in the Delphi is a Intersecting Space for the priestesses to begin the Holy visits.
The agency of the Holy visits is basically forbidden in the House of Dancing Flowers.
Rami: I dyed my hair.
Sssg
Beep
Of course, we've mutual trust that goes beyond those principles.
Rami: Please add a few extra ampoules.
At the end of your identity confirmation (?), you will be take over the preparations to the Holy visit. And...
I identify the place and the destination of the Holy Visit that the church body has set.
Rami: 'Mr. Denzo of 1-307A District 3-48... Wow, this parish has an average rating of 7.0 of the Guardian priests!'
Screech
Finally, the Intersecting Space opens. Every time we go to the Holy visit, everybody have a secret expectation, a romance with a handsome priest! I'm praying for my partner who's Guardian priest of I'll visit the parish, that he'll be pretty boy.
Oh, it started. When I move from Intersecting Space to parallel world, there's a subtle feel like the body and mind are spreading all over the place... (usually in this case, a tearful phenomenon occurs) Oh, what? Anyway, this is subtly addictive.
Rami: Flower boy! (pretty boy) Flower boy! Flower boy! Flower boy!
Guardian priest: Welcome! Hello...
My prayer is only half done. Here's the Church of Madonna's parish in my Holy visit place 1-307A District.
Rami: He's a Baby priest who's buzz cut.
Guardian priest: Huh? Her face is different...
＊Baby priest: This is a slang of the Priestesses, which refers to the Pre-Priest up to the fourth year of the Buzz cut.
Guardian priest: Jeez... what? That picture's face was just my taste...
Thud
Guardian priest: Oh, what is it? So you're an agency of the Holy visit, and if the Priestess Administration found you...
Within the church body, the priest class is far below the priestess class.
Usually they respect each other, but sometimes I need to let them know that I have a clear advantage over clueless Baby priests.
Rami: Father, what's your name?
Rami: Now, by priest oath! Before the name of Mother Madonna, the Priest Thomas should follow the direction of Priestess Rami. You should stay in this state until the end of this Holy visit.
Thomas: P... priestess Rami! I'm sincerely repentant.
Thomas: 'I'm extremely embarrassed...'
Rami: It's noisy. The flower boy!
- (5) - Chapter 5
TV Announcer: The 25th North-South Culture and Arts Festival is held at the Ilsung Cultural Center Auditorium on the north side. We're continuing performance of South. Ms. Winnie, our Prima Ballerina's a pas seul... it's beautiful.
Ding-dong Ding-dong
Denzo: !
Rami: Excuse me, is this Mr. Denzo's home?
Denzo: Oh... Welcome.
He's Denzo, 3-48 in the 1-307A District, who's the subject of this Holy visit.
Rami: Were you contacted in our church body?
Click Click
Denzo: Yes. Let's sit down first.
Thomas: 'Oh! What's the smell of this hell...'
Thomas: Ahh...
Denzo: Oops! I almost lost my mind. I'm preparing my works nowadays... I'm sorry.
Mr. Denzo introduces himself as an artist who works with the dead body as a material... even if the people see him, he's a corpse thief who steals and sells the dead body.
Denzo: In return for my blood sample, you said you'd give me the help I asked for... Is that right?
Denzo: 'What is this flower boy?'
Rami: Oh... if it's within the legal range that we can. Well, first of all, the blood sampling...
Pss
Rami: Thank you.
Rami: I'll record all interviews and requests today. Please be assured that our church body is entirely responsible for the disadvantages of record breaches.
Mr. Denzo asks for help and reveals the beautiful woman's body to us.
Thomas: 'Uhh! What? Why is her foot like this?'
Denzo: Here... Perhaps she's a believer in your denomination. It's already two months since she died.
Thomas: Ah... did you do the embalming?
Denzo: No! There was no such illegal handling to prevent corruption of the body.
Thomas: What?
＊Embalming: This is a technique that injects preservatives instead of blood. It's an illegal activity here in the 1-307A District, and if you violate it, you'll be condemn to maximum penalty.
Denzo: Two months ago, I had no chance to find materials. I accidentally found a month-old grave. The name of the gravestone owner is Flower. I destroyed that grave because I tried to make it a bone tool, but I didn't expect it... I was very surprised. How does a dead body that is over a month seem to have fallen asleep? Above all, I was struck by her beauty. I've never seen such a pretty woman in front of my eyes. And then I got a very ardent feeling about her. I stroke her in every night...
Thomas: That... That's it! I wonder, but I don't want to know!
Denzo: Flower? That's probably your name? Until I met you, I never once blamed death. What's your story? Why are you not able to leave your body from in this world?
Denzo: Someone said that human beings are small souls who drag their dead bodies around. Her body doesn't rot because the soul is trapped. I'm sure she's due to some intense desire that hasn't been done here yet. I'm sad if she lose her beauty, but I can't leave her like this. Because dead body is hell to soul... I want to help her. I hope her soul will be free without pain any more. As you can see, I'm not free because I'm very much out of law. This isn't hard for you guys in Church of Madonna here, is not it? I want to know why she still can't leave. And help her soul to leave the dead body.
Thomas: 'What did he do with stroking her every night?'
Rami: What? This mister... Holy visit is usually a consultation, a room cleaning, a laundry...
The unexpected request of the corpse thief, Mr. Denzo. (Oh, who's this mister?)
Priest: Two months ago? Flower... Oh, here! Her cause of death is overdose... suicide. What? She was a national ballet dancer.
Thomas: Ballet? Oh, so her foot shape...
Flower, her real name is Zea. She was a National Ballet Prima Ballerina. When she was 10 years old, she was escaping with her party from North, a Communist camp, alone and without family. She's so-called defector.
Her cause of death is overdose, suicide ... It's a shock.
This is the place where my Holy visit, is divided into the South and the North for the last 40 years due to a severe ideological confrontation.
Here, the relationship of Flower is only the adoptive parents of the South who're adopt to her.
Priest: Oh, I remember! Don't say anything. It was terrible on her funeral day.
We aren't able to communicate directly with her adoptive parents, so we listen to the priest who helped with the funeral and go to search for the people who had used violence from the funeral.
Credit Loan
Pay Your Debt
Boss of lenders: This is something that she borrowed money from the beginning with the intention of taking away our money. Even though you may forgive the foe who killed your parents, you never forget the person who cheat your money. It's really hard to see how we will make the money, that bitch borrowed. The loan collateral was her sleek body, but she gone to hell by overdose, so what should we do? It would be better to take a candy from a child. But why our money? So that day we went there because to take her organs, and tussled over to the monks.
Rami: *Have a fit of anger*
No! If I get excited about this...
Rami: Sir... You're a little overkill. I know your circumstances, but you don't insult such an already dead person.
No! ...Oh, shit!
Rami: Motherfuckers! After the man was born, money was born, and not vice versa.
Gets up
Rami: What? You guys want to take off her organs? Is a person's body a thing? Nothing a stack of bills couldn't fix!
Lender: What is this crazy bitch? What the fuck are they doing?
Thomas: Hey! What did you just say to the sister? You guys should bows low and apologize to her now!
Boss of lenders: Hey, Taesu, you can't be rude to the precious ones. Hurry! Apologize!
Phew
Boss of lenders: I think there was a mistake in expressing my frustration. Please forgive me.
Thomas: This man! Pull your hands out of your pocket and bow your back!
Rami: I... I'm sorry, Father Thomas. because of me...
Oh, involuntarily, I was excited. -_-;;
Rami: When I talked to them, I just involuntarily have a fit of anger...
Thomas: 'You little girl's sharp temper is no joke.'
Thomas: I was wrong to make you hear to the harsh words of those ruffians.
Behind their compelling apples, we head straight for the National Ballet. It was odd that her colleagues rarely came to her funeral at the death of a principal dancer.
Most of the members were attending the North-South Culture and Arts Festival, which is currently held in the North, but we can meet some of her colleagues.
Colleague 1: Flower? Why you asks for me that real tough cookie? She was drugged and dead.
Colleague 2: If I had gone to her funeral, I would have spit on the bitch's grave.
The reaction of colleagues was cold.
Rami: A large amount of debt and disagreement with colleagues... So she committed suicide?
Thomas: What is she trying to do to spit on her grave?
We go straight to the home of her adoptive parents who have been contacted late. What is really strange is that neither of them were on the list of funeral attendees.
Flower's adoptive mother: What are you expecting me to say about that devil? Good! I'll tell you everything.
This person who's drunk during the day is Flower's adoptive mother. She says that, she divorced her husband and the family has already been disbanded.
After convincing her, we heard a shocking story.
Flower's adoptive mother: She's the devil! I want that devil to fall into hell fire!
According to her, Flower was a unpardonable immoral person who tempted her adoptive father.
Why...
