A twenty-year-old art student. He is a former student of Shichisei Gakuen (often translated as Academy of Seven Voices), a school for fighters where Ritsu Minami was his teacher.  As ordered, Soubi contacted Ritsuka after Seimei&#039;s death. He introduced Ritsuka to the world of fighters and sacrifices, and told Ritsuka he would be his fighter. Although Soubi&#039;s &quot;true name&quot; is Beloved and Ritsuka&#039;s is Loveless, they fight as a pair, which is considered taboo. There is also a severe loss of strength, and in Soubi&#039;s case, his marking bleeds in battle. Since meeting Ritsuka, Soubi doesn&#039;t operate under the Beloved name, and effectively abandoned it altogether.  Soubi appears to know much more about Seimei and his cause of death than he will divulge. Despite Ritsuka&#039;s insistence that he tell him everything he knows, Soubi refuses. In volume 4 of the manga, he even says, &quot;Seimei is my God.&quot; He openly declares that he lives his life by Seimei&#039;s orders, but still says he obeys Ritsuka&#039;s every order.  Many readers and characters in the story itself label Soubi as a masochist. He is extremely contradictory, and says conflicting things on pain and control, making his true feelings unclear. A popular theory among readers is that Soubi is selective, and only desires punishment from those he deems worthy and strong such as Seimei and Ritsuka. In support of this theory, Soubi shuns Ritsu&#039;s offers to control his life.  In addition to the masochist label, Soubi is often described as having a shotacon complex. Despite the clamor to label him as such, it is also claimed by some there is no evidence of this within the canon. Though, at least in the anime, it must be noted that Soubi is recurrently fondling and kissing the 12-year-old Ritsuka. It is difficult to explain the sexual connotations of their behaviour without resorting to a shotacon-relationship; at the very least one can say their relationship is sexually ambiguous. Whether this is part of a broader complex, is unknown, though in the anime, Soubi also showed a certain infatuation with the male Zero&#039;s.   ~!In the latest Zero-Sum Magezine chapters, Soubi has been revealed to be the Beloved spell fighter imposter. Ritsu referred to Soubi as a &quot;Spare Fighter&quot;, meaning he can be paired with any sacrifice.!~ (Source: Wikipedia)

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.

Aoyagi Ritsuka is one troubled 6th grader. Two years ago, he mysteriously lost his memory and developed an alternate personality. His mother constantly berates (and occasionally beats) him, asking what happened to the "real" Ritsuka, and his only defender and friend, his older brother Seimei, was recently killed. 
Suddenly, Seimei's apparent "friend," Soubi, appears. Soubi tells him that Ritsuka's true name is "Loveless," and that Soubi was assigned by Seimei to take care of Ritsuka and protect him. Ritsuka soon gets sucked into a bizzare underground society where teams of people, a "Fighter Unit," and a "Sacrifice," battle using elaborate and beautifully-phrased spells. 
He seeks both acceptance of himself, and the answer to the mystery of who killed his brother and why.

A parody of Loveless: 
A beautiful doujinshi with three side stories, two of them continuations of Special Edition stories. 
First with Ritsuka and Soubi gaming together, with Soubi performing some outrageous tricks to beat "the bad guy" 
Second story, young Soubi (with ears and tail) and Ritsuka, talking around with people about them both wanting to lose their ears to each other. 
Third story, young Soubi (earless) and older Ritsuka (with ears and tail), and Soubi making a pretty interesting move... 
Bonus: If you enjoy Ritsuka in a dress, wait to see what's inside...

In front of Aoyagi Ritsuka, there is a boy that named himself as Loveless fighter, Seiryo Yukiharu, appears. Since he has the same voice as his deceased brother, Ritsuka opens his heart to Seiryo's tenderness. But, when he felt the warmth of Agatsuma Soubi's hand, he was attacked by anxiety. Was it okay to let Soubi's hand go? Who is the partner with I want to have a strong connection? When Ritsuka hesitates with this, real love and bonds are tested.
