In most anime and manga, death isn't the end. But in Bleach, it's where all the fun begins. Bleach is a story about Kurosaki Ichigo, an orange-haired teenager who gets crap for having weird hair (because clearly orange is the strangest hair color to appear in anime) and who has been able to see ghosts since he was a child. One fateful day, he meets Kuchiki Rukia, who introduces herself as a shinigami (lit. "death god"). After being injured by a Hollow (a bad spirit), she gives Ichigo her powers in order to save their lives. He takes over her job for the next two months. Following that, Rukia is arrested for the unauthorized power transfer. The epic rescue mission that follows when Ichigo and supernaturally powered friends go after her reveals a conspiracy to take over the throne of Heaven itself. Expect lots of fights.
