Descendants of Darkness (闇の末裔 Yami no Matsuei) is a fantasy manga series created by Yoko Matsushita. The story revolves around shinigami. These Guardians of Death work for Enma Daiō, the king of the dead, sorting out the expected and unexpected arrivals to the Underworld. The manga was serialized in Hakusensha's semi-monthly shōjo manga magazine, Hana to Yume from the 14th issue of 1996 until the author decided to put the story on hiatus in the 2nd issue of 2003. Even though the serialization stopped at the 2nd issue of Hana to Yume in 2003, the chapters that were not collected after volume 11 were not released. The published chapters have been collected in 11 volumes with the 11th volume published on December 14, 2001. There were three side-stories focusing on Tatsumi, Oriya and Ukyou respectively. Volume 12 of the series was released on January 19, 2010 with revisions that differ from the chapters originally serialized in the magazine. The return of the serialization has yet to be confirmed. The English language version is published by Viz Media. The series has an anime adaptation broadcasted by WOWOW in Japan and distributed in North America by Central Park Media.

The Guardians of Death, or Shinigami, are tasked with sorting out new arrivals to the Underworld, both those that are expected (natural death) or unexpected (deaths with suspicious circumstances). Asato Tsuzuki, a Shinigami with many perceived incompetencies despite being a 70-year veteran in the field, is partnered with the newly arrived 16-year-old Hisoka Kurosaki, who has become a Shinigami to help understand the mysterious circumstances of his own human death. Despite having very different temperaments, the two find ways to work as partners and protect each other as they solve the mysteries of murders (that is, unexpected arrivals to the Underworld) with the aim of preventing further murders in the human world.
