5[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Judas]], the [[{{Shinigami}} spirit of death]], is cursed for [[ThePunishment his sins]] and must [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment reap 666 souls]] in order to get back his human body. Problem is, he's an IntangibleMan, thus can't actually kill anyone. Thus he takes [[GenderBlenderName Eve]], a [[WholesomeCrossdresser feminine]] young boy, and [[PowersViaPossession possesses him to use his death powers]] [[GottaCatchThemAll and reap souls]]... Except it seems to get plenty sidetracked by people who are obsessed with 'Eden', and the [[MoralEventHorizon inhumane acts]] they commit to find it...
