    Synopsis:

    Tsuzuki Asato is a shinigami navigating the bureaucratic realities of the afterlife, tasked with maintaining order among the deceased. Despite seven decades of service, his position in the Department of Soul Reaping offers little reward and consistent partner turnover – until he's paired with the sharp-tongued, sixteen-year-old Kurosaki Hisoka. Together, they investigate unusual deaths, uncovering a disturbing pattern linked to the enigmatic Dr. Muraki Kazutaka and his unsettling methods. The series explores themes of duty versus personal peace as Tsuzuki confronts not only criminal activity in the spirit world but also the unresolved circumstances surrounding his own demise. Their evolving partnership forms the core of the narrative, offering moments of levity amidst a backdrop of complex mysteries and lingering sorrow.
