The narrative centers around a high school student named Shuuichi, who becomes entangled in a complex and eerie relationship with two girls: Yuki, a cheerful and outgoing classmate, and Shi, a mysterious and emotionally distant transfer student. Shuuichi’s life takes a dark turn when he discovers that Shi is not an ordinary girl but a shinigami, a being tasked with guiding souls to the afterlife. This revelation forces Shuuichi to confront the fragility of life and the inevitability of death.

As the story progresses, Shuuichi becomes increasingly drawn to Shi, despite her cold demeanor and the unsettling nature of her role.

Through its exploration of love and loss, "Shi to Kanojo to Boku" presents a thought-provoking narrative that examines the impact of death on the living and the complexities of human relationships.
