Bleach (Japanese: ブリーチ, Hepburn: Burīchi) is one of the "Big Three" shonen manga that defined the 2000s, alongside One Piece and Naruto. Created by Tite Kubo and serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 2001 to 2016, it is world-renowned for its "street-style" aesthetic, poetic dialogue, and iconic sword designs.

The story follows Ichigo Kurosaki, a hot-headed teenager with the ability to see ghosts. His life changes forever when he meets Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper (Shinigami) tasked with ushering souls to the afterlife and purifying monstrous spirits known as Hollows. During a desperate battle, Rukia transfers her powers to Ichigo, making him a Substitute Soul Reaper. Ichigo soon finds himself entangled in the complex politics of the Soul Society and a massive conspiracy led by the traitorous captain Sosuke Aizen.
