From creator, Kubo Tite, comes the story of a world where death lurks impalpable to an everyday human's eyes. This new anime takes an insight to 'Soul Society,' a place where death gods make sure order and peace reign around those who are dead. Kurosaki Ichigo, along with his family, runs a local clinic. Ichigo has the unusual ability to see poltergeists but rather than react with surprise he merely sees it as an annoyance.
A small, mysterious woman appears on duty inside his room, a Shinigami known as Rukia.
Soon enough Ichigo and Rukia get formal in the oddest of ways and in such untimely matter the losses begin. The Kurosaki family is soon attacked. This leads Ichigo on his first step to accepting the role and responsibility's a Shinigami must uphold.  Kurosaki Ichigo is a 15 year old boy that has an ability to see ghosts/spirits. Because of his ability, he is able to meet a female death god (a.k.a Shinigami) named Kuchiki Rukia.
To save his family and friends from unwanted soul-eating spirits (Hollows), Rukia transfers her Shinigami powers to Ichigo.As Rukia takes on a human shell, together they solve mysteries involving spirits and hollows until from the spirit world comes 2 other shinigamis explaining that it is illegal to transfer Shinigami powers to humans and Rukia exceeded the time limit to stay in the human world. After they sentence her death for breaking the laws, Ichigo snaps and swears to everyone he will retrieve Rukia by breaking into the spirit world.
He does some of the latter because some punks knocked over the flowers he put out for a cute girl ghost and comes home to his annoying father, the only one in the family who can't see ghosts, attacking him. His two little sisters, Yuzu and Karin, eat dinner, and Yuzu suggests that they stop fighting, while Karin points out that Ichigo has been possessed again. The next morning, there's a story on the news about a mysterious explosion near their home, and Ichigo gets caught up in what caused it soon after: a monster is chasing after the ghost girl he was helping yesterday! Luckily, some kid in a black hakama shows up and kills the monster, totally ignoring him. That night, the kid shows up again in his room - preceded by a black butterfly. And it turns out that Ichigo shouldn't be able to see her - she's a shinigami, and he's trying to find another monster nearby. Actually, they're not monsters, they're bad spirits called horou, and eek here it comes! It takes Karin and tries to run off, but Ichigo breaks the bonds that the shinigami put on him and runs after it. The shinigami tells Ichigo her name, Rukia, and that the only way they can defeat the horou is for her to kill Ichigo and transform him into a shinigami as well... So Ichigo becomes a shinigami high school student, with a sword larger than any Rukia has ever seen...
