comment |
Asato Tsuzuki is a shinigami who has been working in the afterworld for 70 years (with a low wage), investigating cases related to unnatural deaths. Although he is very capable, he is constantly in trouble because of his laid-back and spacey attitude, and his inability to retain a partner. Things seems to improve when Tsuzuki is assigned to work with the new shinigami Hisoka Kurosaki, a teenager with a very serious attitude, in contrast with Tsuzuki's playfulness. Unfortunately, in their first case together they cross paths with the insane Doctor Kazutaka Muraki, a man who has gotten supernatural powers in very questionable ways. The doctor is involved in a lot of dirty business (including the death of Hisoka), and now wants Tsuzuki...Descendants of Darkness (Yami no Matsuei in Japanese) is a manga by Yoko Matsushita which began in the shoujo magazine Hana to Yume in 1996. The manga went on hiatus in 2003, leaving the series unfinished until January 2010, in which volume 12 was released. The series is, however, resumed in 2011.A 13-episode anime was produced by J.C. Staff in 2001. In the U.S., it was initially licensed by Central Park Media, and aired on the Sci Fi Channel's Ani-Monday block in 2008. It is currently licensed by Discotek Media, who have announced plans for a future DVD rerelease. |

Genre Shift |
| | Descendants of Darkness (Manga) / int_177a6464 |
comment |
Genre Shift / Out-of-Genre Experience / Breather Episode: The first three volumes can be pretty consistently placed in the supernatural detective/thriller genre, with liberal dosings of horror. Cue volumes 4 and 5, in which the main characters visit a hot spring and rescue a missing ice queen who went missing because she was KO'd by a badly-cooked muffin and have an epic inter-departmental archery contest. Oh, and then Tsuzuki is sucked into magical storybook land where he meets his genderswapped self. After a few volumes of these sorts of situations, the series goes right back into the horrific murders. A few volumes later, a magical shonen adventure plot starts up. |

Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Double subverted with the ending to the Devil's Trill arc. The whole point of the story was to keep Hijiri and Kazusa safe from the Demon. The Devil shows up at the end and tries to kill Hijiri and Kazusa. Hijiri survives and the devil is vanquished... but Kazusa pulls a Heroic Sacrifice for Hijiri and dies anyway, rendering the whole arc pointless. |

comment |
Boys' Love: Yes and no. Tsuzuki lampshades this in the first volume, joking that he would give Hisoka a goodnight kiss, but this isn't a Boys Love manga. Later on, in a plot arc that actually deals with homosexual relationships, Tsuzuki refers to homosexuality as 'icky' (But to be fair, he was masquerading as a priest at the time.), and he seems genuinely squicked by some lesbians in a different plot arc. Everything is officially kept on the Heterosexual Life-Partners level with a bit of Stupid Sexy Flanders, Freudian Excuse, and gratuitous amounts of squicky Mind Screw, but the art◊ speaks◊ differently◊. |

Bluff the Impostor: When Hisoka suspects that Tsuzuki is possessed by a demon, he proves it by asking Tsuzuki to go get food for the group and "reminding" him that the Chief hates sweets. In reality, the Chief has a notorious sweet tooth, so when Tsuzuki falls for it, Hisoka's suspicions are confirmed. |

The manga shows him as being unbelievably proficient with hacking and decryption, involved in maintaining the computer-based reality where the series' summoned gods live, and good enough at chemistry for potion-based Mad Science (which could also be partly magical), and he's alluded to having done other things. His PhD? In Mechanical Engineering. |

Incest Subtext |
| | Descendants of Darkness (Manga) / int_bdc453a0 |
comment |
Incest Subtext: A shorter story in volume 2 of the manga has Tsuzuki ballroom dancing with a professional... and keeping pace with her. At one point he tells her that while her technique is flawless, she doesn't "share" the dance, and that he "can't teach her." In his words, "It means dancing as though you're in love with your partner... Dance like you want me!!!" A page before this, he stated it was his sister who taught him how to dance with such... um... passion. It's even foreshadowed and simultaneously lampshaded by Hisoka, who wonders what Tsuzuki's family was like. To make it even more suspect, it's heavily implied Tsuzuki falls in love with Hisae... because she reminds him of his sister. Later when Ruka appears in the manga, she looks very similar to Hisae... |

Art Evolution |
| | Descendants of Darkness (Manga) / int_e43c66bd |
comment |
Art Evolution: The manga and characters — especially the male characters — start out damn pretty, then through the first eleven volumes became drop-dead gorgeous and sexy. In later chapters drawn during the 2010s, the art changed noticeably once more, possibly because of the author's health issues. Character designs have become distinctly blocky compared to her earlier artwork, but remain highly detailed nonetheless. Compare here◊. |

Gorn: Thanks to the shinigami Healing Factor, the main characters get torn to pieces repeatedly and the results are splashed across the page in great detail. Some examples: When disguised as Hijiri, Hisoka gets hacked nearly in half and his eye is pulled out. The gruesome reveal of several murder victims on the cruise ship in volume 3 especially the dismembered corpse of Tsubaki's father In volume 4, a young Catholic schoolboy comes back as a rotting corpse (who proceeds to slurp out the organs of a priest). |
