A review by beththebookdragon
Descendants of Darkness, Vol. 1, Volume 1 by Yoko Matsushita
5.0
(review is for the entire series)
One of the first manga series I ever read, and one I still go back to read periodically. The art, and the main characters, are beautiful--Tsuzuki and his colleagues are classic biseinen (beautiful young men). Definite shonen-ai (flirting/hints of relationships between men) elements, but the wild and excellently told supernatural adventures will keep most people who are not shonen-ai fans reading. The story falls apart somewhere in the last volume (which I would rate four stars at best)--both by "jumping the shark" and because it's unfinished (the manga creator became seriously ill for many years and had to quit working on it).
A classic I hope many older-teen and adult supernatural-manga and shonen ai fans discover.
