Even after death, life is full of paperwork and criminals. Tsuzuki Asato is a 26 year old, happy-go-lucky, and dorky shinigami (god of death). Even though he's had this job for over 70 years, he is in the worst division with horrible pay. Now he seems to have a new partner; stubborn, smart-mouthed, serious and defensive 16 year old, Kurosaki Hisoka. Tsuzuki's relationship with Hisoka is growing stronger and closer...but there is a dark past to how Tsuzuki died that will not give him peace.
