Bleach (stylized as BLEACH) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tite Kubo. It follows the adventures of the hotheaded teenager Ichigo Kurosaki (CV: Masakazu Morita), who inherits his parents' destiny after he obtains the powers of a Soul Reaper from another Soul Reaper, Rukia Kuchiki (CV: Fumiko Orikasa). His newfound powers force him to take on the duties of defending humans from evil spirits and guiding departed souls to the afterlife.


Bleach was serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from August 2001 to August 2016, with its chapters collected in 74 tankōbon volumes. Bleach received the 50th Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen category in 2005. In North America, the manga was licensed for English release by Viz Media.


The series has spawned a media franchise that includes a 366-episode anime television series adaptation by studio Pierrot from 2004 to 2012.
