In the afterlife, people go to school to purify their soul so that they can be reincarnated. Riyon is one of these deceased, though she has no intention of spending great effort into her purification and plays Go with an old Guru instead. So, as a corrective measure, the principal sends her down as a Spirit Guardian to purify the soul of someone who has been overly corrupted and lost his Guardian.Limiting her stay by choosing a person who is bound to die soon, she realizes she has picked possibly the most lonely and bullied person in Japan: Prime Minister Souichiro Kasuga.Hito Hitori Futari is a seinen manga is penned by Tsutomu Takahashi, which was serialized in Weekly Young Jump from 2011 to 2013.

Ripped from the Headlines
 Hito Hitori Futari (Manga) / int_1616e13
comment
Ripped from the Headlines: Clearly written shortly after the Fukushima disaster, as the platforms the revitalized Kasuga puts forward are things like decentralizing government power from Tokyo in case an earthquake occurs there and removing all nuclear power plants from the country. Kasuga's son also was in the process of adopting some children from Fukushima before Kubo zapped him into a coma. About halfway through the Story, Kasuga even visits the nuclear plant where the disaster went down and does something drastic.

Daddy's Girl: Riyon was one in life and sees Kasuga as something like a replacement. Kubo uses her affection toward her still-living father in an effort to manipulate and weaken her.

Deal with the Devil: Daiki was always aware that Kubo was dangerous, but his ambition to become Prime Minister was such that he was willing to work with Kubo, even after Kubo warns him that he can't quit halfway. He really should've listened.

comment
Parental Substitute: Kubo senses that due to being raised by a single father and regretting her early death, Riyon has shifted her dedication as a daughter to Kasuga.. After his sister accidentally killed their mother by infusing her with darkness, then killed herself, Kubo was taken care of by a detective who was murdered just before formally adopting him. Late in the story, Kasuga tells Daiki that his decision to keep going caused his son to be killed by Kubo, and Daiki's deal with Kubo ended up killing Daiki's father, and thus he wants the two of them to regard each other as father and son. Daiki is moved to tears.

comment
Guardian Angel: Everyone (allegedly) has a guardian spirit who "possesses" them and follows them throughout life. Mostly their job is to provide subconscious support and gentle inspiration through the subconscious, purifying a person's soul and keeping it free of corruption and despair, though they also keep a person generally safe and healthy as well. It seems that certain conditions can cause afterlife spirits to bail out on their charges however.

Heroic Sacrifice
 Hito Hitori Futari (Manga) / int_6439de78
comment
Heroic Sacrifice: Informed that he will die in less than 500 days, but knowing that he'll be protected by Riyon 'til then, Kasuga goes to the Fukushima nuclear power plant, stands before the rod cooling pool, then divests himself of his mask and protective equipment. Giving a speech about how people forget simple images and put them in the past, he resolves that he'll show Japan's people—with his own body—what would happen to them if there were more accidents like Fukushima...and then the Prime Minister of Japan drinks a glassful of water from the pool. Upon learning that by using up his life energy, Riyon will be able to purify Kubo, Kasuga agrees without hesitation. Izumi Jyun, after being blinded by Kubo is then possessed by him, with Kubo taking over his body, magnifying his despair and manipulating him into a suicidal position on the edge of the hospital roof. Daiki, who Kubo had been infusing with darkness, catch his father before he falls, but is being pulled over, with Kubo's influence trying to get the old man to kill his own son. With a last admonition to his son to join Kasuga for the sake of the Izumi family's honor, Jyun twists out of Daiki's hand. As Daiki watches in horror, viewers see that the Black Eyes of Evil Daiki had been developing thanks to Kubo's influence have been cleared away.

This Is Your Brain on Evil: Shortly after making a deal with Kubo, we see that Kubo's been secretly sticking "black balls" of negative energy into Daiki's body, which appear to be sapping his will and making him more and more subservient to Kubo. He only manages to break free when his father, also possessed by Kubo, dies to save him.

Because You Were Nice to Me The reason Kubo chooses to throw in with Daiki is that, even after seeing that Kubo can use his powers to kill people, Daiki sees Kubo as an ill person rather than some kind of monster and was sincere in his promise to help Kubo and his sister.

Unfortunately, Kubo was serious enough about that no-going-back thing that he'd been putting will-sapping black balls of misery into Daiki's body that were really messing him up.

Revenge by Proxy: Kind of. See, while a guardian spirit can protect a person from the negative emotions/energy being leveled at them, the people close to them might suffer due to the sheer amount of malice involved and end up being stricken with misfortune or injury. Note the deliberate ambiguity about whether it's physical or emotional closeness.

Despair Event Horizon: Kubo, teetering on the brink, sneaks into the hospital and visits the murderer he'd been helping his inspector friend track down, who had previously killed said inspector and attempted to kill himself. Seeing that he's on life support, Kubo uses his power to rouse the man, looking to see what would happen to him in the future and if he could be redeemed. Seeing nothing, and realizing that the only thing he had never been able to see was his own future, Kubo realizes he's destined to kill this man...and does so. Afterwards, he wearily laments that there's nothing left for him but the Dark World.

Hell

comment
Hell: Existence is basically layered, and just below the Earth lies The Dark World, where souls corrupted by evil and despair fall to. It appears those spirits subconsciously remember having been above this place and seek to enter through the gaps/weak points in a person's soul opened by things like misery and loneliness. To a Guardian Spirit, these spirits appear as black balls, and part of their duty to to clear them out of a person's head while making sure to keep the gaps closed.

Determinator: Even after his weariness and despair caused him to forget his original goal, Kasuga refused to simply quit as Prime Minister. After Riyon manages to save his life, he remembers: he wanted to make Japan a better place.

0% Approval Rating: Kasuga's support has sunk as low as 2%. And he is not even a villain.

comment
Unskilled, but Strong: After Riyon discovers that she can project white balls of energy that erase black energy balls, she gets a call from the vice-principal of her school saying that she was impressed that Riyon could do that, as it's a power reserved for particularly high-level guardian spirits.

Dark and Troubled Past: Kubo has one. He and his sister's powers only ever scared them and caused them harm, and the inspector who was his only proper father figure and who showed him unconditional trust and affection ends up dying.

comment
Cast from Lifespan: The white, evil-erasing balls that Riyon can generate come from the life energy of the person she's guarding, so if she uses them, she shortens his lifespan. In the end, fighting and purifying Kubo burns through almost all of them.
