The business of Death is never done. Asato Tsuzuki works as a Shinigami, or 'Guardian of Death', in the Ministry of Hades. It's his duty to make sure that the souls of the dead reach the afterlife, but contrary ghosts and humanity's evils keep getting in the way of a job well done. With all these problem assignments, will he ever get a bonus...or will he be stuck paying back damages for all eternity? As a Guardian of Death, Asato Tsuzuki has a lot to think about. First of all, there are all those dead people. Someone's got to escort them safely to the afterlife. Then there's all that bureaucracy. The affairs of death come with a lot of paperwork, budgetary concerns and endless arcana. Descendants of Darkness proves one thing: Death is big business...and business is good!

Beyond the Anime,
By MarthaC (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Descendants of Darkness: Yami no Matsuei, Vol. 9 (Paperback)
As fans may know, the defeat of Muraki, which is the finish of the anime is not the last story in the manga series.
In this new story arc, Hisoka decides to get his own Shiki (the twelve creatures that guard Tsuzuki are called Shiki in the manga, their name is slightly different in the anime). Of course, Tsuzuki volunteers to help him get one,so Tsuzuki takes Hisoki to the Shiki world and of course, they get lost! If that is not enough, another new story line with Tatsumi and Watari begins. Because Tsuzuki and Hisoka are on this quest, Tatsumi has to investigate Hisoka's family (the case is not explained yet), something which he grumbles about, since he hasn't led an investigation in 50 years. We learn that the Shiki live in something called the Imaginary World located in cyberspace (there's an explanation why it is where it is). We see the White Tiger's and Touda's human form, plus other shiki not yet really introduced. We learn a bit more about Tsuzuki's relationship with Touda and how a deal is struck with the creatures of this world. This is a pretty enjoyable manga as a whole, I'm looking forward to how these two stories play out.

This review is from: Descendants of Darkness: Yami no Matsuei, Vol. 9 (Paperback)
I really like the whole series of the "Descendants of Darkness" manga by Matsushita, Yoko.
It is funny, heartwrenching, and dramatic. I would recommend it.
