Shinigami

Shinigami, also known as death gods, are mysterious figures that interact with the dead or the soon-to-be deparated. These beings may assist souls in passing to another world by arriving to lend a helping hand at the moment a person dies, or might maliciously divert a passing soul for their own motives. Manga with Shinigami frequently take place in the afterlife or follow a Shinigami as they complete their duties.
