However, after that arc, the show goes downhill fast. It’s nothing original at all, just a standard ‘mysterious killer who might be supernatural’ story you’ve seen a few dozen times on the X-Files, but it does a decent enough job of introducing characters, setting up future conflicts, bringing in clues from the past and setting up nice big magical fights. The 13-episode show is divided into three 3-episode ‘arcs’ and one final 4-episode arc. It’s the rest of the story that’s the problem.
If anything, I found the homosexual elements to be quite humorous and to often function as effective comic relief.

I have no particular problem with it, and I came into this show knowing full well what to expect, so the presence of such elements had no impact one way or the other on my evaluation of it. So all in all, it’s safe to say that if you are repulsed by the idea of homosexuality, this show is not for you. There is never an actual homosexual sex act portrayed (except for a kiss or two), but the innuendo is everywhere. And while this show is not ABOUT homosexual romances, that is certainly an ever-present element, with the none-too-subtle romantic overtones of the two main characters’ partnership, to the ‘bad guy’ talking in no uncertain terms about how he wants to possess and ravish the main character’s body. For those unaware, ‘shounen-ai’ literally TLs to ‘man-love’ and, true to the name, refers to shows that contain homoerotic elements. Well, let’s get the obvious out of the way: this is a shounen-ai show. So we’ve got two such detectives: an easygoing 20-something named Tsuzuki and a grumpy yet caring teen named Hisoka, and a whole bunch of mysteries for them to solve!
Their job is to manage the forces of evil in the living world that Earthly agencies can’t deal with and to keep the powers of darkness from exploiting humans. StoryDemon detectives! In the heavenly agency of Enma-Cho, certain people live out their afterlives as spectral agents possessing magical powers.
