Yusuke was the toughest student at his high school, and a stereotypical delinquent. He cut class, gambled, and often got into fights, especially with his rival Kazuma Kuwabara. One day while skipping class, Yusuke saw a kid wandering into the street to get a ball, and a car was about to hit him. To save the kid, Yusuke jumped into the road and pushed him out of the way, getting killed by the car in the process. However, this wasn’t the end, as Yusuke found himself as a ghost floating above the scene of his death. He encountered a girl named Botan floating beside him, who claimed she was a grim reaper.
