Celebrate the 20th anniversary of international smash-hit Bleach with this exclusive edition of volume 1！

Ichigo Kurosaki never asked for the ability to see ghosts—he was born with the gift。 When his family is attacked by a Hollow—a malevolent lost soul—Ichigo becomes a Soul Reaper， dedicating his life to protecting the innocent and helping the tortured spirits themselves find peace。 Find out why Tite Kubo’s Bleach has become an international manga smash-hit！

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。
