Bleach

Part-time student, full-time Soul Reaper, Ichigo is one of the chosen few guardians of the afterlife.

Created by Tite Kubo | MoreLess about Bleach

Ichigo Kurosaki never asked for the ability to see ghosts—he was born with the gift. When his family is attacked by a Hollow—a malevolent lost soul—Ichigo becomes a Soul Reaper, dedicating his life to protecting the innocent and helping the tortured spirits themselves find peace.

Tite Kubo is the author of ZOMBIEPOWDER. and Bleach. To date, Bleach has been translated into numerous languages and has also inspired an animated TV series that began airing in Japan in 2004. Beginning its serialization in 2001, Bleach was awarded the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award in the shonen (boys) category in 2005. Bleach ended serialization in 2016, but Tite Kubo has now returned to explore the larger Bleach universe in Burn the Witch.
