About this title

Synopsis

In the middle of Shibuya's scramble crossing, one boy finds himself able to hear the thoughts of the people around him. Unsure as to why he's there with nothing but a mysterious black badge with a skull on it, Neku Sakuraba is quickly spotted by a girl who demands to make a pact with him, explaining that she requires it to not get "erased" by malicious creatures known as the "Noise." After forming the pact, the mysterious girl defeats the Noise and introduces herself as Shiki Misaki, along with her stuffed animal Nyan-tan. Shiki explains that the two of them must join forces for the next seven days, as they are part of the "Shinigami's Game." Much to his dismay, Neku reluctantly goes along as an invisible wall prevents him from leaving Shibuya. Not only will the duo need to protect themselves from the Noise using "psychs", abilities gained from badges, but they are also required to clear daily Missions given under certain time limits. As he clears the seemingly needless Missions one after another, Neku is left wondering about the true nature of the Shinigami's Game. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Main characters

Neku Sakuraba314 fan favorites
External profile
Neku is a detached, introspective, apathetic and rather dictorial boy who is forced to play the game. At first glance Neku was antisocial to the degree of wishing to be the only person in the world, distrustful of others and not wanting to stick his neck out for others. His hobbies include listening to music and creating stylized graffiti. When Neku wakes up in Shibuya, he realizes that he has amnesia and is unable to remember how or why he's there. He slowly regains his memory through each passing day.

Yoshiya, an intelligent and sly teenage boy, prefers to go by the name Joshua and appears to know more about the Game than he lets on. (Source: Wikipedia)
Shiki Misaki45 fan favorites
External profile
Shiki is a stylish girl who makes a contract with Neku. She is outspoken and can easily befriend others. She has an avid interest in the latest fashions, and had a dream to become fashion designer. Shiki keeps a photo of her best friend, Eri, and herself on her cellphone and looks at it frequently. (Taken from Shiki's section on Wikipedia.)
Daisukenojo Bitou38 fan favorites
External profile
Hot-blooded and hard-headed, Beat is the polar opposite of Neku — even if they are the same age. Still, despite his emotional outbursts, he has a big heart. He's always ready to throw down and ollie into combat on his board with Rhyme right there beside him. He also despises the name his parents chose for him because he finds it uncool and embarrassing, preferring the nickname Beat over Daisukenojo.
