Bleach is a manga series written by Tite Kubo and adapted into an anime in 2004 by Studio Pierrot.

Plot

Bleach follows Ichigo Kurosaki, a teenager who gains the powers of a Soul Reaper—a guardian tasked with defending humans from evil spirits known as Hollows and guiding the souls of the dead to the afterlife. After accidentally absorbing the powers of Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper, Ichigo is drawn into the struggles of the spiritual world, uncovering hidden conspiracies and clashing with powerful enemies. With his friends—each developing their own unique abilities—Ichigo battles to protect both the living world and Soul Society.
