Ichigo Kurosaki has always been able to see ghosts, but this ability
doesn't change his life nearly as much as his close encounter with Rukia
Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper and member of the mysterious Soul Society. While
fighting a Hollow, an evil spirit that preys on humans who display
psychic energy, Rukia attempts to lend Ichigo some of her powers so that
he can save his family; but much to her surprise, Ichigo absorbs every
last drop of her energy. Now a full-fledged Soul Reaper himself, Ichigo
quickly learns that the world he inhabits is one full of dangerous
spirits and, along with Rukia--who is slowly regaining her powers--it's
Ichigo's job to protect the innocent from Hollows and help the spirits
themselves find peace.
