Not the end?

According to the infamous Wikipedia there just might be a 12th volume. The mangaka went on haiatus in 2001 from this serties & hasn't made a manga since. My personal guess is that the original Japanese publishers are pressuring her to pick up the series again now that they're making forign profit through Viz off the series. The exact same thing happened to the Aoike Yasuko whom made the Eroica manga; 7 year haiatus on book 19, now on book 33. Hopefully the series will extend beyond a 12th book & like Patalliro, get a second TV series to boot. Oh yeah, & there's a raunchy yaoi scene at the end between unfamiliar characters. The series gets progressively BL.

Descedants Of Darkness... Ends All To Quickly

I've loved Descendants of Darkness ever since I saw the anime a few years ago. (And I am a guy, by the way. I waited forever for the manga to come out, and even bought the Japanese version a few years ago off Ebay. (Though I can't read kanji...) I am glad it finally came out in English, but unfortunately Vol. 11 is the last. The author never finished the stories and kinda left us all hanging. Unfortunately a lot of great anime do this, including X/1999. DOD is a great fantasy shojo and is worth reading. Tsuzuki is one of my all time favorite anime/manga characters, and I hope someday the story will be finished... but I'm not holding my breath.
