I'm thinking that it's set up as a series of mysteries that the titular protagonist works to solve. Said protagonist is a teenager, which explains the "Pink" and "Boy" parts of his name (Pink is associated with springtime in Japan). Maybe there's a tendency to have a blurry line between the mundane and supernatural? If so, the supernatural elements would become more apparent with time, but wouldn't dominate the series.

As for how it's styled... Pink Dark Boy is a horror/suspense Urban Fantasy series in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999. It would probably resemble some similar real life shonen manga that were around in the 90's. So imagine bits and pieces of Diamond is Unbreakable, Yu Yu Hakusho, Detective Conan, Kindaichi Case Files, and the first few volumes of Yu-Gi-Oh.

Incidentally, in the fourth main arc of Pink Dark Boy, Rohan introduces a character called "Araki," a friendly mangaka who is so absent-minded that they forget the details of their own story. A running joke gets started where characters will ask Araki questions about inconsistencies he never noticed while writing and drawing the latest chapter.
