Well, we start out with Ichigo Kurosaki, a 15 year old Japanese High Schooler who can see ghosts. One day as he is telling off the neighborhood punks, who knocked over a flower vase for a departed soul of a young girl, he connects with the soul who the flowers were for and she thanks him for defending her when no one else can. With nothing but a simple touch of the two, that contact changed his life forever.
That night as he comes home his dad gives him a surprise attack, wailing on his some with a burning fervor that goes on for a while, giving us a chance to meet his 2 sisters, Karin and Yuzu, who are eating dinner. Along with another soulwho torments Ichigo for a short time, taking the form of an old man. One sister, Karin, can see ghosts and the other, Yuzu, can merely feel their presence. However Karin is in denial that they exist. Then their father consults a poster of their departed mother blaming all the problems on their puberty while acting very childish.
The next day the young girl soul is being chased by a large unidentified creature, unseen by everyone except Ichigo and an unidentified girl, who defeats the monster wih a single swing of her sword, not even giving Ichigo and the young ghost a look.
That night Ichigo wonders about the girl and in a turn of unlikely events she comes into Ichigo's bedroom. At first he thinks she is a burgular so he kicks her, and she is shocked that she can be seen. She believes it to be a defect within him. She identifies herself as a Soul Reaper.
So of course Ichigo has many questions for this soul reaper, later identified as Rukia. Rukia believes him to be foolish. And she puts him in a full body bind, using a demon magick apparently these "soul reapers" can use and sends the soul from dinner to the afterlife using another magick called "konso." She informs him of her duties as a soul reaper and tell him that there is a good and evil to being a Soul Reaper.
There are the Whole's, Who are the good spirits and are also known as pluses, and the Hollows, who are the bad spirits, who are minuses. The reason why Hollows take souls are unknown though, other than a way of sustanence. Rukia's powers are somewhat at a strain at this point, but she doesnt know why.
Then Ichigo's sister, Yuzu, bursts in! Their house is under attack by a Hollow that has his other sister, Karin! So as they go outside, Rukia realizes and explains when he made contact with that girl he reached full pontential of his powers! So now the Hollow's wants his soul, he almost sacrifices himself but Rukia saves him. Calling him foolish and telling him one soul will hardly keep a hollow at rest.
After saving Ichigo, Rukia is badly injured! So, she decides to give Ichigo half of her powers to defeat the Hollow. When she uses her blade to transfer her powers though, she ends giving him more than half, almost all of her powers! She realizes he can't be a regular human. And a shinigami is born, as well as the start of an epic tale!
