Shonen Jump graphic novel

Kubo continues his ongoing manga series, which has been translated into seven different languages. "Bleach" follows the story of Ichigo Kurosaki, who has always been able to see ghosts. Fighting Hollows, evil spirits that prey on humans who display psychic energy, Ichigo learns that his job is to both protect the innocent from the Hollows and to help the spirits themselves find peace"Ichigo Kurosaki thought that Soul Reapers were the only ones hunting Hollows, but he was wrong. Enter Uryû Ishida, a Quincy, and possibly the last member of a powerful clan that died out over 200 years ago. Unlike Soul Reapers who strive to cleanse Hollows of their sins and send them to the Soul Society, Quincies adopt a more direct approach--they kill Hollows without hesitation. To demonstrate the supremacy of the Quincies' ways, Uryû challenges Ichigo to a contest--bait is spread around the city, attracting a large number of unstable Hollows. Whoever defeats the most wins, regardless of the danger. Also, Orihime and Chad, confronted with a host of Hollows terrorizing their friends, awaken to their own psychic abilities. Who is the strongest?" -- Publisher's description
