There aren’t many creators out there with more mega-hits than Rumiko Takahashi, who previously made splashes with the likes of Ranma ½, Urusei Yatsura, InuYasha, and more. Her latest ongoing hit is Rin-ne, and you won’t want to miss a minute of the anime adaptation. Thankfully you won’t have to, because
hits Blu-ray and DVD on July 12.
Sakura Mamiya is a high school girl with the ability to see ghosts, but it isn’t quite as exciting as it sounds. Instead it just proves to be a constant annoyance, especially as she gets older. Then she meets Rinne Rokudo, a guy who sometimes sits next to her in class and, oddly enough, can’t always be seen by the other classmates. It turns out he’s part Shinigami, and he’s about to make Sakura’s spirit-seeing ability a whole lot more interesting.
Since Rinne doesn’t have the power of a full Shinigami, he could use a little help moving ghosts from our plane to the wheel of reincarnation. Will Sakura end up helping or hindering his Shinigami duties? And is there something more developing under the surface of this spooky new relationship?
Seiki Sugawara (D-Frag!, episodes of Kamisama Dolls, Sengoku Collection, and more) is the director in charge of taking Rumiko Takahashi’s currently-running manga to the small screen, and does so with the help of Michiko Yokote (Squid Girl, Haré+Guu) on series composition at anime studio Brain’s Base. Dive into the spirited fun of the first 13 episodes and pre-order
today.
