Ichigo Kurosaki ist scheinbar ein ganz normaler Schüler an einer Highschool und lebt in der Stadt Karakura. Doch er hat eine besondere Gabe: Schon seit er denken kann, hat er die Fähigkeit Geister, besser gesagt “Hollows” zu sehen. Eines Tages trifft er auf Rukia Kuchiki, ein Todesgott und Seelenräuber. Doch bald stellt sich heraus, dass Ichigo selber ein Seelenräuber ist und nun mit dieser Macht die Möglichkeit hat, Karakura und seine Einwohner, vor den bösen Geistern zu schützen.

She later shows his picture to her friends as her boyfriend. The boy in the picture is Kyouya Sata and happens to attend the same school as Erika. She tells Kyouya about her situation and asks him to be her pretend boyfriend. Even though Kyouya has a pretty appearance, he has a dark side.
