What is Bleach?
Bleach follows Ichigo Kurosaki, a high school student with the rare ability to see ghosts. When he meets the Shinigami Kuchiki Rukia, his ordinary life transforms as he inherits her powers and becomes a substitute soul reaper. Now responsible for protecting his town from Hollows—corrupted spirits that consume human souls—Ichigo embarks on an epic journey through both the human and spirit worlds.
Ichigo Kurosaki is a rather normal high school student apart from the fact he has the ability to see ghosts. This ability never impacted his life in a major way until the day he encounters the Shinigami Kuchiki Rukia, who saves him and his family's lives from a Hollow, a corrupt spirit that devours human souls. Wounded during the fight against the Hollow, Rukia chooses the only option available to defeat the monster and passes her Shinigami powers to Ichigo. Now forced to act as a substitute until Rukia recovers, Ichigo hunts down the Hollows that plague his town.
