This is about Akio, the Son of the Shinigami, who now took his father's place as the Shinigami after a spirit agreeing with a spirit once shi ritual had gone horrible wrong. Akio travels the land trying to complete the purpose of his "occupation", which is sending others to the after life whether it is their time or not. He must complete this or else he will be sent to the after life himself. Along the way though is more challenges than he would dream of.
