Synopsis

Ichigo Kurosaki has always been able to see ghosts—it's just something he's grown up with. But his normal teenage life gets turned upside down when a Soul Reaper named Rukia Kuchiki shows up in his bedroom. She's supposed to help spirits move on, but things go bad fast when a Hollow attacks. These creatures are basically evil spirits that eat souls, and when Ichigo tries to jump in and fight one, he gets himself in real trouble. Rukia takes the hit for him, and since she's badly wounded, she makes a desperate call: transfer some of her Soul Reaper powers to him so he can at least protect himself. Ichigo agrees to it, but something unexpected happens—he doesn't just get half her powers. He absorbs all of them, which lets him instantly take down the Hollow. Now he's stuck as an actual Soul Reaper, which means taking over Rukia's job of hunting Hollows and watching over both the living and the dead. He's not alone though. His friends Orihime and Chad end up discovering they have spiritual powers too, and the three of them team up. But as Ichigo quickly finds out, being a Soul Reaper and getting tangled up in the spirit world comes with way more baggage than he bargained for.
