Bleach, Vol. 1: Strawberry and the Soul Reapers

by Tite Kubo

Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

One of those staple manga series, this is the story of Ichigo — see-er of ghosts, now slayer of evil spirits. With all the action and humor you could want, Bleach is an immensely satisfying supernatural slay-fest with characters you'll want to hang out with on the reg.

Ichigo Kurosaki has always been able to see ghosts, but this ability doesn't change his life nearly as much as his close encounter with Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper and member of the mysterious Soul Society. While fighting a Hollow, an evil spirit that preys on humans who display psychic energy, Rukia attempts to lend Ichigo some of her powers so that he can save his family; but much to her surprise, Ichigo absorbs every last drop of her energy. Now a full-fledged Soul Reaper himself, Ichigo quickly learns that the world he inhabits is one full of dangerous spirits and, along with Rukia--who is slowly regaining her powers--it's Ichigo's job to protect the innocent from Hollows and help the spirits themselves find peace.
