Descendants of Darkness

Descendants of Darkness is a dark Japanese manga series which was adapted to television in the year 2000. The anime series, created by Yoko Matsushita, is unlike any other Japanese anime series because it centers around shinigami, or death. Tsuzuki Asato is a 26-year who has served as a shikigami, or god of death, for more than 70 years. As a shikigami, Tsuzuki oversees the underworld and must make sure those that are there are dead, and remain dead. Tsuzuki is quite unhappy with his living conditions as he works for a horrible division and is paid a measly amount. He is partnered with a 16-year old boy named Kurosaki Hisoka, who is new to the dark work of the underworld. Together, they must investigate the case of a serial killer named Dr. Muraki Kazutaka, but first, Tsuzuki must overcome dark secrets from his past in order to succeed in his hunt for Kazutaka. MORE
