The Day I Became a Shinigami

Ichigo Kurosaki is a fifteen year old high school student with orange hair, brown eyes, and can see spirits. As he tries to protect the spirit of a little girl from a hollow, he witnesses a clash between the malevolent spirit and a Soul Reaper. Later, Ichigo is met by the woman again in his room. She introduces herself as Rukia Kuchiki, and explains to Ichigo the basic goal of the Soul Reapers is the act of soul cleansing. The hollow returns, attacking Ichigo's home, and Rukia is wounded. In order to save his family, Ichigo desperately takes Rukia's power into himself and becomes a Soul Reaper to successfully defeat the hollow.
