BLEACH is an anime/manga that revolves around ghosts, monsters, and basically 'ghost busters' to put it in normal terms.
Bleach starts out with a 15 year old boy named Ichigo, who has the gift of seeing, talking, and touching spirits. Ichigo doesnt' really talk about his ability except to his family. His two sisters, Karin and Yuzu can also sense spirits, but their father cannot.
One day Ichigo met Rukia, a shinigami (sould reaper/death god). Ichigo had no idea what a shinigami was, so he confused Rukia to be a burglar and kicked Rukia behind the head. Rukia and Ichigo got into an argument and Ichigo insulted her by calling her a brat, which caused Rukia to use her demonic art (kiido) and bind Ichigo immobile. Rukia here explained to Ichigo that she was a shinigami sent to his world to slay Hollows, who are spirits that have lost their hearts either by loneliness or by being devoured by another Hollow.
Of course Ichigo didn't believe her until the cry of a Hollow alerted him of their prescence. His home, the Karakura Clinic, was attacked and his siblings were wounded by the hollow. Ichigo seeing his sisters hurt, gained the strength and courage to break the kido spell and rush to the rescue. However, Ichigo was no match for the hollow and in one final attempt to fight the Hollow Rukia intervened, causing her to get badly injured.
Rukia then told Ichigo he had two choices: One was to stand by and be devoured by the hollow along with his family, or two, to stab his heart with her zanpakuto (soul slayer/ sword/katana) and absorb part of her powers, becoming a shinigami.
Ichigo didnt' think twice and stabbed himself with the sword, but instead of absorbing part of her powers, he absorbed all of it, making him a full time Shinigami. He defeated the Hollow in three swift motions and now he has to help Rukia with her shinigami task since she lost her powers.
Ichigo is in for the time of his life...if he can live that long...
