The phantom busters are given a task from the Student Body president in order to save their club room, and in the process, Mogari also reveals he has a fairly impossible task from his family to exorcist a large number of demons in a year or lose his privilege of going to school. The president secretly is a huge fan of the paranormal, but his steely exterior must be maintained, especially around his subordinates. Korekishi has his own problems — his mother threatens to have him transferred to another school if he doesn’t quit the phantom busters, and a former classmate also pressures him to quit the club to realize his full leadership potential elsewhere.

Within the gates of Japanese Hell is a construction site, and one of the most ornery foremen is Mizuchi. He might be particularly ill-tempered because he died a virgin, but that also may have given him some sort of powers here in the afterlife. Mizuchi is a colorful guy with an eye for expensive sneakers, though just one eye as the other is covered by a magical eye-patch. From this, he can pull his fearsome katana he uses to fight off unwanted spirits and protect his workers and job site. But, be careful not to talk about other enchanted swords around Mizuchi’s katana, or it might get jealous!

Iharu is upset that Reno has been matched and not him, but he still goes to give support to his compatriot when he’s in need. Elsewhere, Vice-Captain Hoshina takes Kafka out for some hand-to-hand combat training without weapons of transformations as Kafka is going to need to rely more on his own fighting prowess in the coming days.
Gakuro has always been able to see spirits that seem to lurk around people who have overwhelming feelings of anger or sadness.

In addition to being an Otaku, Nue is also a powerful spirit who imbues Gakuro with part of her power and the ability to fight evil entities who steal power from emotionally vulnerable humans and become vicious. The increase in spirit activity eventually becomes noticed by external exorcists, some of whom want to partner with Gakuro to take on evil entities and protect humans.

Sara's Rating: 8/10 Suitability Level: Grades 10-12 Publisher: VIZ Media Publication Date: July 15, 2025 ISBN: 9781974751457 (Paperback) Tags: Rating: 8/10, Suitability: High School, Manga, Action Adventure, Demons, Humor, Superheroes, VIZ Media 
Three aspiring agents of Death come together (eventually) at school and learn to be better collectors of souls. For two characters, Maka and Black Star, they are on a mission to create an ultimate weapon for Death, and to do so, they need to collect 99 souls of humans and one witch, which they feed to their weapons. Their weapons also can become anthropomorphic entities with strong personalities that must match their weapon-masters soul energy. Otherwise, wielding them is nearly impossible. Our third character is none other than Death’s son — Death the Kid — a reaper with a powerful pair of guns as his weapons.
