Descendants of Darkness - Vampire's Lure (Vol. 1)
Based on a continuingmangaby Yoko Matsushita, this unusual series mixes  supernatural elements into a detective story staffed bybishonen(beautiful boys). Asato Tsuzuki is ashinigami(a member of the elite  undead), who works for the Summons Section of the Judgment Bureau, a division  of the Ministry of Hades. He tracks down the lost souls of the undead and  brings them to justice. Tsuzuki's happy-go-lucky charm and uncontrolled  fondness for desserts drives his superiors crazy, but he's a powerful and  effective agent. In the first episode, he gets a new partner:  hypersensitive, emerald-eyed Hisoka Kurosaki. Although they don't hit it off  initially, Tsuzuki and Hisoka are soon battling a singer-turned-vampire and  the sinister Dr. Muraki. The rather obvious gay subtext gives this story a  tone unlike anything in Western animation.
