Twelve-year old Aoyagi Ritsuka is left with his insane mother as his only family when his brother, Seimei, is killed suddenly. After moving to a new school, he meets Agatsuma Soubi, who claims to have known his brother. Ritsuka eventually discovers that Soubi and Seimei used to be a fighting pair, whereby Soubi was the "Fighter" and Seimei was the "Sacrifice". Now that Seimei is gone, Ritsuka has inherited Soubi, who will become his "Fighter". After learning that Seimei was killed by an organisation known as the "Seven Moons", Ritsuka decides to investigate into his brother's death, with the sometimes useless help of Soubi, along the way.

Where it came from
Loveless is a 2005 television anime adaptation of the manga series by Yun Kouga, produced by the studio J.C. Staff. The series follows Ritsuka Aoyagi, a young boy navigating a cryptic world of fighters and sacrifices, utilizing a magical combat system governed by true names. This adaptation was released during a period when J.C. Staff was highly active in transmuting popular josei and seinen manga into animated form, aiming to capture the series' distinctive melancholic tone and complex, often ambiguous character dynamics.
The production sought to maintain the ethereal and somber aesthetic defined by Kouga's original illustrations. While the anime is noted for its specific visual style and orchestral score, it is often discussed for its departure from the manga's complete narrative arc, as it covers only a portion of the source material. Upon its release, it was received as a polarizing but visually evocative entry in the mid-2000s anime landscape, recognized primarily for its emotional exploration of intimacy and identity.
