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.

Bleach was the second manga I ever picked up and loved. BUT. At some point it starts going downhill. The author tends to drag on some fights WAY TOO MUCH (especially in Hueco Mundo) and sometimes you tend to see some plot holes and asspulls here and there. The art has always been beautiful and I do believe Kubo is a very talented artist. If the author was more organized with
his storytelling, Bleach would have been much, much better. I want to note, that I love all the character designs but also the criptic and metaphoric titles the author gives to his chapters! Another thing that Bleach has is that it gives the chance for other characters other than the protagonist to grow stronger and develop. Of course, as a classic shounen, Ichigo will always come to save the day at the end but also give chances to other characters to do something other than despair unlike other shounen manga (coughcough naruto cough). Along with Ichigo everyone else in soul society as well as his friends is maturing and getting better other than Ichigo outclassing them just because he is the main character. Despite its good points Bleach, should have ended long ago because it feels like the story is not told properly as I said before...

 The fights are always one-sided

Dunno since when, but Bleach definitely has adopted what DB's sickness in its (DB) last few arcs. The fights are always one-sided. The one side is simply too strong for the opposition. Same thing with Fairy Tail. I don't know whatever, but if it's one-sided, it's still dragged on too long. A one-sided fight shouldn't be dragged for weeks or month! Totally different from OP. Even if there were one-sided fights, those one-sided fights were still logical (ie: Sanji simply no match for Doflamingo). But OP had many fights that fought to the last drop of energy for both parties, which made the fights looked very awesome. There is no more hope of such toe-to-toe fights in Bleach. Hope it will finish asap.

 O!G Syndrome

Kubo seems to have suffered from Oh! Great syndrome. This is a disease that plagues mangaka who have extremely popular manga's but have run out of ideas. They have made so much money they can afford copious amounts of mind altering drugs and continue to write an incoherent story until the day they are cancelled.

Once part of the Big 3, now the only way you'll find Bleach at the front of Jump is if a foreigner decides to read the magazine from left to right. RIP

 Got tired of my unrequited love for Bleach

It's very sad because I used to love this series so much. I've stuck with it for 6 years, now I'm taking a break. What good is a series that doesn't even show its original heroine? Heck, it didn't even show its HERO in Fake!Karakura Town arc for MONTHS. Then, we got stuck with Orihime, who I don't even consider as a character anymore seeing as how empty, selfish and 1D she is, who apparently is now some sort of heroine for a whole two arcs and a half. I loved Bleach. But now my hate for it is bigger than my love for it. Since it doesn't even give me the chance to love anything, as anything I love is either off screen or OFF SCREEN. Why would I read the manga anymore if all I see is Orihime who I don't give a shit about?

I think what threw me off more is Kubo sensei's attitude towards his readers. I understand he is protective of his characters but he is too proud and arrogant. So I'm just doing as he told his readers. I'm not reading Bleach anymore.

Bleach as a Whole is Amazing although people complain like fake karakura town was horrible which it really wasn't at all was actually good. The artwork is good and Kubo doing one hell of a job with the story. Better Than Naruto right now and Fairy tail not One piece. The 1000 year blood war arc is amazing stunning and hes one of my favorite mangakas.

Bleach is a product that earns money for its creator.
It has some nice themes in the plot, that I like and enjoy.
This is where is stop, as I don't like this manga that much to write a objective/oppinion free review.
Like it, hate it - noone cares but you. Here's my ten. Why? Because I can.

 What happened?   
Rating: 6.5 / 10.0

Kinda breaks my heart how I have to give this a 6.5 rating. I used to LOVE Bleach, and by love, I mean it being one of my favourite series back then. I liked the series up to Vol 48, but after that, it was just sort of 'meh'. I've stuck to the series for more than seven years so I might as well just see how it ends.

The issue that I have with Bleach is that there are just so many characters introduced (who are never visited upon again), how OP Ichigo gets... AND THOSE PLOT HOLES! There's just no more sense to Bleach anymore, I sort of wished that it HAD ended at Volume 48.

For me, Aizen's story arc was the best, but after Aizen's defeat, the story is not interesting for me again (especially fake karakura arc, i hate it). After knowing that Ichigo has hollow's power, now he got QUINCY'S POWER?? and usually Bleach's story goes like this: some battles then training period, new enemies&acquired new power, then training again...

 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...
