Description
From Viz:
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?

| I preferred the anime. by LUEser on October 21st, 2009, 11:21am |

The anime is way better than the manga. First of all, it's NOT on hiatus status. The anime is complete; second of all, the shounen-ai, the comedy, the dark pasts for our sweet sweet Tsuzuki, Hisoka, and Mr. Muraki, and the gothic theme of Heaven are all present.
Hisoka's story was complete before we knew it. Tsuzuki's past was catching up quick and Muraki's giving chase to Tsuzuki to make his corpse his own brother's. Tragic, sad, and a little bit of Muraki-you're-evil-but-let's-"do"-it spice in it. >
Unfortunately, the manga is all mumbo-jumbo'd into a book. All these unnecessary things getting in Tsuzuki's way (like the invisible guy taking a liking to our purple-eyed hero) and Hisoka journeying into the world of Spirit Beasts (Such as Byakko and Phoenix, blah blah). Anime was way better; say, I should watch it again.

I have mixed feelings about this manga because of the different genres it tries to incorporate. First of all, it's supposed to be a fantasy series. The premise of the Ministry of Hades is pretty cool but I feel like it's not exploited to the fullest because most of the time, the mysteries that Tsuzuki et al have to solve could happen is just about any detective manga. It's just not very original in this sense.
Then, sometimes, it veers off into comedy. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but in other parts of the manga it's very dark so it feels like a bad fit. The shounen-ai elements are buried veeeeery deeply, if they're even there at all, but you can tell Matsushima-sensei likes to tease. If you like BL, there are better places to find it.
Overall, this manga just feels like too much of a jumble to hold my interest.

| Love it! by DrenroseL on April 11th, 2009, 2:30pm |

I love this manga as much as I love the anime! Tsuzuki is so adorable and I love everyting about him.
The artwork is awesome, hot guys and very well-drawn.
Why can't the mangaka countinue drawing? This is one of the best mangas ever, in my opinion.

| ouch, what a pity by raphiq on July 29th, 2008, 2:12am |

This series has been inactive for YEARS. Why is that? Apparently, my friend told me that the mangaka suffered a hand injury that made it very difficult for her to continue drawing. And so, it's pretty much a permanent fact that this manga won't be finished.

| Pretty good although... by Lord_Lucifiel on April 29th, 2008, 9:53am |
|
| Pretty good in terms of plot and characterisation although it had a tendency to get overly dramatic at times. Plus, the characters tended to be rather static at times, in order to create a sense of tragedy(inaction/inability to act thus allowing the villain to have his way). Though, this too was often balanced by a sense of humor and light-heartedness, yet there wasn't always enough for my taste. |

| READ the Manga, but Skip the last volume! by curiousgeorge on October 26th, 2007, 1:03am |
|
| I love this manga and the anime. Unfortunatley the manga stops abruptly in the middle of a new story line in the last volume. Actually it might be at the end of the 10th volume. It's a very interesting story line, but very frustrating to start considering that this manga has been on hiatus for years now. I definitely reccomend reading the rest of it though.... The anime follows closely with only a few minor deletions. |

| Awesome manga by kirbychan813 on October 10th, 2007, 8:21pm |

This manga is sooo amazing. The art became gorgeous by volume 04, and the storyline is very interesting. The characters are all mysterious, but sometimes as easy to read as a book. I can read it over and over again and still not be bored. I wish Matsushita-sensei would continue it...I'm aching to know what happens next. The anime was great, too.
Warning: Volume 11 is not for the weak-hearted.
