The institution’s goal is to cultivate Death Scythes for the Shinigami to use against the myriad evils of their magical world. These weapons are not traditional metal instruments but are human hybrids capable of transforming into Demon Weapons, a status achieved only after consuming 99 evil souls and one witch’s soul. Soul Eater Evans, a Demon Scythe indifferent to anything but coolness, strives to become a Death Scythe with the assistance of his disciplined meister, Maka Albarn. This mismatched pair studies and works alongside the fiery Black☆Star and his supportive weapon Tsubaki, as well as Death the Kid, the Shinigami’s son, who is an obsessive-compulsive dual wielder of the twin pistols Patty and Liz. While undertaking missions to gather souls and defend the city from global dangers, the Shibusen students collaborate under the watching sun to achieve balance in their minds, bodies, and souls.

After growing up in the countryside, Kouta feels understandably anxious about moving in with his grandmother to attend a high school in the city.

The world of Yozakura Quartet consists of two separate realms: one inhabited by humans and another by youkai. Though they largely resemble humans, youkai often possess animal-like features and a variety of supernatural powers. Normally confined to their own dimension, some youkai have crossed into the human world. To symbolize harmony and serve as a link between the two sides, a city was built within the protective barrier of seven enchanted trees, known as the Seven Pillars. This city, Sakurashin, houses both humans and youkai, with the peace between them upheld by the Hizumi Life Counseling Office. The office is run by Akina Hiizumi, a teenager who inherited his family's ability called "tuning," which can permanently banish harmful youkai back to their own world. He is supported by a group of girls: Hime Yarizakura, the 16-year-old youkai mayor of the town; Ao Nanami, the local announcer and a telepath; and Kotoha Isone, a half-youkai capable of summoning any object simply by speaking its name.

Kimihiro Watanuki has always had an unusual existence. In addition to his power to perceive spirits, this continuation of xxxHOLiC shows him still working tirelessly for Yuuko, the eccentric owner of a peculiar shop, who vowed to take away this ability. Yet, this supernatural woman can only fulfill that promise once he has labored sufficiently to earn his desire. Such is the rule for anyone who enters the shop to have their wish fulfilled: a price equal to the wish must be paid. In this strange establishment that exists between the realm of the living and the dead, Watanuki spends his days performing household tasks for the seemingly indolent Yuuko and her associates, while also assisting customers. Alongside his classmates—his supposed romantic rival Shizuka Doumeki and his crush Himawari Kunogi—Watanuki confronts the numerous calamities that befall Yuuko's clients, as well as those that persistently haunt him and his companions.

The cycle of absurd events continues with Nozomu Itoshiki, better known as Zetsubou-sensei and the most pessimistic individual on earth, attempting to instruct class 2-F on the theme that existence is composed of hopelessness and gloom.
