Fifteen-year-old Ichigo Kurosaki has the uncanny ability to see ghosts, but that seems pretty run-of-the-mill once Shinigami Rukia Kuchiki enters his life.
Ichigo runs into Rukia at school, where she’s posing as a transfer student. Now that he’s got most of her powers, she wants him to take over her Shinigami duties?
When Yasutora Sado receives a parakeet that contains the soul of a young boy, it is up to Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki to protect him from the Hollow that is after them.
At Rukia Kuchiki’s behest, Ichigo Kurosaki puts an artificial soul, or mod soul in his body to take care of it while he carries out his new Shinigami duties.
While begrudgingly attending Don Kanonji’s show with the rest of his family, Ichigo Kurosaki is forced to fight a Hollow inadvertently created by Don Kanonji himself.
