In an alternate reality, renowned manga artist Tite Kubo introduced the world to a captivating new universe centered around Shamans in 2001. Set in modern-day Japan, the story follows the journey of a young boy named Ringo Takahashi, who possesses the rare ability to see spirits and evil entities known as Yokai.
Ringo's life takes a dramatic turn when his mother tragically passes away, leaving him and his younger sister Yuzu alone. Compounding their grief, Ringo's father is wrongfully convicted of a crime he didn't commit and is sent to prison, leaving Ringo to assume the role of protector for his family.
Despite his inherent kindness and sense of justice, Ringo finds himself drawn into a life of delinquency during his middle school years. Constantly getting into fights and skipping class to work part-time, Ringo's actions cause concern for those around him, including his childhood friend Momo Watanabe and her father Giichi, who acts as a father figure to Ringo.
One fateful day, while on a job, Ringo stumbles upon a mysterious red stone sword hidden in a box. Little does he know, this discovery would change his life forever. During a confrontation with a powerful Yokai, Ringo instinctively reaches for the sword and unleashes its dormant power, saving Momo from certain doom but falling into a coma himself.
During his coma, Ringo encounters Reiko, a powerful Shaman known as the "Shinigami," who reveals to him the existence of the Shamanic world and his latent potential as a Shaman. Upon awakening, Ringo is visited by Urahara Kisuke, the current Shaman Chief, who offers him a chance to attend the prestigious Shamans Academy.
Driven by a desire to protect his loved ones and uncover the truth behind his mother's death and his father's imprisonment, Ringo eagerly accepts the offer. With newfound purpose and determination, Ringo sets out on a journey to master his newfound Shamanic abilities, confront the dark forces threatening his world, and ultimately become the Chief of the Shamans.
As Ringo navigates the challenges of Shamans Academy, he forms bonds with fellow students, including Momo, who becomes his trusted ally and confidante. Together, they face formidable foes, unravel ancient mysteries, and forge a path towards a brighter future for themselves and the world of Shamans.
