About Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War
Developed and drawn by Tite Kubo, Bleach is a collection of supernatural fantasy manga. Animation company Pierrot, which was in charge of Bleach’s first fourteen seasons, will also be working on TYBW.
The protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki, is a kid of fifteen who has the ability to perceive spirits. In a life-or-death battle against Hollows, creatures with a voracious appetite for human souls, Shinigami Rukia Kuchiki entrusts Ichigo with her abilities, drawing him into the intrigues of the Soul Society, an afterlife reminiscent of medieval Japan.
The transgression of granting a human her abilities leads to Rukia’s ultimate arrest. Orihime Inoue, Yasutora “Chad” Sado, Uryu Ishida, and Ichigo set out on a mission to Soul Society to save her, destroying any shinigami who dare to stand in their way.
The intriguing Shinigami leader, Sosuke Aizen, had a larger plan, and Ichigo’s invasion had just been a pawn in it. He takes refuge in Hueco Mundo, the Hollows’ domain, to plot his next move, which involves Orihime’s kidnapping in some way. Ichigo must once again put an end to the menacing Aizen.
