Book Overview
The business of Death is never done. Asato Tsuzuki works as a Shinigami, or "Guardian o 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? Hisoka is tired of playing sidekick to his ditzy partner Tsuzuki, and wants some power of his own. He decides to travel into the imaginary realm in search of magical shiki spirit allies. Tzusuki tags along as a guide, but gets called back on an assignment before Hisoka has made his selection. Alone at last, Hisoka finds himself in a world of trouble. Now it's up to Tsuzuki to rescue him...uh-oh

Beyond the Anime
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
As fans may know, the defeat of Muraki, which is the finish of the anime is not the last story in the manga series. In this new story arc, Hisoka decides to get his own Shiki (the twelve creatures that guard Tsuzuki are called Shiki in the manga, their name is slightly different in the anime). Of course, Tsuzuki volunteers to help him get one,so Tsuzuki takes Hisoki to the Shiki world and of course, they get lost! If that is not enough, another new story line with Tatsumi and Watari begins. Because Tsuzuki and Hisoka are on this quest, Tatsumi has to investigate Hisoka's family (the case is not explained yet), something which he grumbles about, since he hasn't led an investigation in 50 years. We learn that the Shiki live in something called the Imaginary World located in cyberspace (there's an explanation why it is where it is). We see the White Tiger's and Touda's human form, plus other shiki not yet really introduced. We learn a bit more about Tsuzuki's relationship with Touda and how a deal is struck with the creatures of this world. This is a pretty enjoyable manga as a whole, I'm looking forward to how these two stories play out.
