About the series
In 2006, Polish publisher Waneko brought Yami No Matsuei to a new audience, collecting the original Japanese supernatural mystery series in 13 issues. This dark fantasy follows shinigami (death gods) in the afterlife's bureaucratic underworld as they investigate cases involving the dead and the living. The series is best known for its gothic atmosphere, complex characters, and blend of horror with procedural storytelling. It remains a notable example of early 2000s supernatural manga reaching European readers through careful localization.
