Quiet chatter among the girls at Shinyo Academy revolves around a mysterious supernatural presence. This being is Boogiepop, a Shinigami whispered to slay people at the zenith of their beauty before their charm fades. Only a handful grasp his true role: a protector who, during dormant intervals, takes the form of high‑schooler Touka Miyashita to repel "world‑enemies."
