Ichigo Kurosaki, a fifteen-year-old adolescent, possesses a special gift: the ability to see spirits. One day, he crosses paths with a beautiful Shinigami (a spiritual being) who is chasing a "lost soul," an evil spirit that haunts our world and cannot find peace. Put in difficulty by his enemy, the young girl decides to lend some of her powers to Ichigo, but he ultimately inherits all of the Shinigami's power. Forced to accept his new status, Ichigo must manage his two lives: that of an ordinary high school student, and that of a demon hunter... Bleach is the work of a promising mangaka, Taito Kubo, and the latest success of Shueisha Editions. A fast-paced action manga with exquisite graphics and a thrilling plot, Bleach is the new gem of manga in the Land of the Rising Sun.
