Description
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 both protect the innocent from Hollows and to help the spirits themselves find peace.

Won the 50th Shogakukan Manga Award in the Shounen category.

It started out so well...

It's a shame. It started out really interesting. Both the plot and characters were well set up. Everyone could find a fave character out of all the shinigami and Ichigo's group and I found Aizen & co very interesting bad guys.

But then it went down hill. The fake Karakura arc started it. Imo, Kubo should have ended the series and all the plot-holes right there and keep Aizen as the final boss. But no... I honestly dropped the series very shortly after Aizen was defeated. A good mangaka should know when to end his/her series...

I don't understand how this manga remains in the top 10 list. In terms of plot, there isn't any. It's just one story jumping into another completely different story, with a new villain everytime. This manga was good until the Fake Karakura Town arc, then it just went downhill. I dropped this shortly after.

I really like Bleach until the fake Karakura battle, where it drown and never make the surface again. But i still reading it because I want some answer and see how it will end, but it is and ok reading I read in 10 mins each week.

Aizen was the most interesting character but he fell flaw and boring, the fullbringer arc was ininteresting and the last arc is SO disapointing...
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Plot holes, bad/short fight, characters who should die but don't (Byakuya and Kenpachi), character who shouldn't die (Unohana) at least not like she does and inconsistency.

I stumbled upon the anime many moons ago when is was still new and i was an older teen.
I liked it just fine but switched later to the manga because it was to drawn out and had to quit it entirely because i started to hate it. Now i am 24 and in retrospect i find that the first two are arcs (till Soul Society ended) are still decent but kindof "empty". Just good art(but never backgrounds) and good ideas but not a lot of substance.

To quote strixflash "Bleach was never a plot driven manga" and that was true even then but when arc 3 stared the story completely stopped and the unending action-scenes became like this.
Two "awesome" dudes meet then begin to stand in the air and beat each other with super-moves till someone wins or the agree to become friends and noone ever dies but the word "death / i´ll kill you" are the most dominant sentences in the entire manga. So after that arc was final over i quit and never looked back.
Apparently the manga still sucks(500+ chapters and a spin-off but still not over) and finally started to loose fans but i am thank god out. As many problems i have with One Piece and Naruto now i still have fun with them even if a am mostly a seinen and josei reader now but this manga i cannot recommend at all. Don´t even start its not worth your time or the hype.
Read the rest of the Jump-Trinity or Berserk(the king of manga) instead.

I absolutely LOVE Bleach!!!!! It was the first manga that I ever bought and I love it! Each character has their own personality and there's always some problem the protagonists have to get through. Ichigo is such an awesom character, sometimes stubborn, but always fighting for a cause. And when there's trouble with a friend, he is always there to help and fight for/with them. Each time I see him, he's always stronger than before; it's almost like there's no limit to his strength. I found that there are a lot of funny moments with Ichigo and friends, and yet there are a lot of serious moments, adding to plot even more. I definitely recommend reading, and then watching, Bleach because plot, theme, character design, etc. are really good throughout Bleach. And, it may help that Ichigo doesn't look that bad as the anime progresses (especially in his Bankai form). P.S. I'm Ichihime all the way! smile

I just don't get others who says Bleach was fabulous till soul society arc or Bleach died for me after it or it became boring for me afterwards and so on... I just ask those guys if you have some many complaints then why don't you just stop reading it...
It really makes me laugh... You are saying all those bad words about Bleach but at the same time reading it regulary... LOL
If BLEACH died for you after soul society arc then why not stop reading it?? Then why do you bother criticizing latest arcs too!!!!

Do yourself a favor and drop it after the Rescue Rukia arc, everything after that is all dragged on. Kubo trying to create some suspenseful moments and plot twists but failing to do so miserably.

My biggest issue with this series is Ichigo is the main character but all he has is:
Getsuga Tenshou
Bankai
Hollowfication (Don't even count the full hollowfication vs Ulquiorra)
And that new thing I forgot the name in the recent chapters

How can he learned his hollowfication but can't even use Cero like everyone else? Then he always has some magical powerup during or directly before battle and goes to win.

With all that said I love Bleach's art the most, but creativity-wise One Piece beats it. (Don't forget I said creativity-wise, not in general drawing characters, but different looks and so on) I look forward to Kubo's new work though, I only keep reading it cause I read so far and only takes 10 seconds to read Bleach's chapters nowadays anyways.

how could this kind of series goes on? like the other has already commented, I think the Soul Society arc was fabulous. And as that one arc was too good, the later arc just not charming enough. I actually hated all of them

A piece of advice, do yourself a favor and quit after Volume 48, because what comes next is one exercise in jumping the shark after another as Kubo fills in plot holes that could have been covered in prequel arcs.

It starts well, climaxes in the middle, and rolles down a hill untill the end. Overall, it's above average, but nothing too special. The whole human-goes-to-after-life-and-battles-demons thing has been done plenty of times, and it has been done better. This is just one of those and an average one at that, but being as long as it is there are some great scenes worth exploring. If you have the time to kill, go for it.
