Ever since he was little, Ichigo Kurosaki has been able to see the spirits of the dead, so when a teenage girl materializes through his bedroom wall, it should be no cause for alarm. But the girl, Rukia Kuchiki, is a Soul Reaper, a member of the mysterious Soul Society that is charged with capturing rogue ghosts, and she's hot on the trail of an evil spirit. In the ensuing confrontation Ichigo absorbs Rukia's powers. Not only can he see the malevolent spirits, but now he can fight them as well. Now this 15-year-old high school student begins a brand-new vocation: hyperkinetic, all-purpose ghost-busting. With enough attitude to make a grown ghost blush, Ichigo and crew are taking on the afterlife one ghoulie at a time.
