Neku Sakuraba, a 15 year-old boy with a hobby for music and graffiti, wakes up in what seems to be the Shibuya shopping district of Tokyo, Japan. The middle of course means Shibuya Crossing. With no idea why he's there or memories of how he got there, he opens his hand to realize he is holding a black badge with strange skull on top of it. After flipping it with his hand few a few minutes, the thoughts of the people surrounding him began to flow into his head all at once. Surprised -- if not a bit frightened, Neku discovers he is able to read the minds of others, and assumes it has something to do with the black badge he is holding. This begins our story.
A cellphone starts to ring in his pocket, and he can't tell whether it is his or not... the can not remember. A text message appears: "Reach 104. Time limit 60 minutes. If you do not achieve your goal, you will die. From the Shinigami". After discovering he can't delete the message, a timer of 60 minutes imprints onto his right hand. Neku is in Shibuya solely to play the "Shinigami Game" which spans acrossl of 7 days and takes place throughout the various disricts of Shibuya. All participators of the Shinigami Game have a black badge with a skull embedded on it, just as Neky does. The Shinigami Game has certain rules, which prevent him from leaving the Shibuya district. If Neku doesn't complete the game, he will be stricken from existence along with his "partner" Shiki Misaki, a girl who is another participant in the game. Shiki requests Neku as her partner, and he agrees which causes them to work together with her for their week.
The Shinigami monitor the duo's actions and invite them to dangerous and difficult tasks. In order to survive, Neku and Shiki will have to defeat the "Noise", physical manifestations of people's negative thoughts and feelings. The Noise are based on animals such as penguins, wolves, frogs, and bears. The noise can also take the forms of objects and historical monuments in Shibuya. Neku's psychic talents are essential not only to gather clues and hints from the people, but to also detect the Noise that sweep through the roads of Shibuya. During their week in Shibuya, Neku and Shiki run into other people who have become involved in the Shinigami Game...
The manga follows the same story but adds a bit more crossdressing. The characters and dictionary apply to the manga. The noise, pins, and items aren't listed in the manga but are seen in it. Thanks for looking.
