The main conceit of Descendants of Darkness--that the land of the dead is run by an organization similar to a police department--has great potential for blending the genres of crime/mystery drama with horror and the supernatural.
Since this is only the beginning of Descendants of Darkness, there's always the hope that the manga improves as it plunges further into the story.
Ultimately, Descendants of Darkness is lacking in some departments, but with a little brushing up, it could become an adventurous and possibly even romantic tour into the land of the dead.
