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.

A reaper jumps from soul to soul, savoring the distress as humans beg for their lives, until he comes to a young girl who greets him with a smile when he tells her she only has seven days left to live. Perplexed, he cannot fathom why she doesn’t weep in terror, but instead tells him she looks forward to seeing him daily. She later reveals she is dying from a rare curse that had torn her family apart and turned her mother against her, making her verbally abusive. Aibi has crafted a “good girl” persona to everyone else, but conniving enough that she's convinced her angel of death is a “good boy” and is actually here to protect her from her curse and her mother.
Rookie policewoman Ippongi initially joined the Force to help keep her family dojo protected and out of the yakuza crosshairs. She now finds herself assigned to the backwater Chinjuku station, partnered with the notorious slacker, loose cannon, and powerful psychic, Mujuru Chojo. More than half of his hair has gone white from the overuse of his psychic abilities, which he constantly uses on a large scale -- and not always on slacker-y things. Ippongi soon comes to realize that Chojo may be hiding out in Chinjuku to fly under the radar and build toy models all day, but he is actually kind of good at his job.
Newly departed souls must make a perilous journey through purgatory, but if they have sustenance for their long, forty day journey, they won’t fade along the way in the harshness of purgatory. One way loved ones can help is by purchasing purgatory cakes from a specialized bakery. These cakes take special ingredients and infuse memories from the living, and they are delicately baked with the utmost care by a skilled and kind baker with some otherworldly powers. Each chapter is a visit into these memories as the client purchases their specialized cake for their departed one.
