Bleach synopsis
Ichigo Kurosaki is a normal high school student, until his family is attacked by a Hollow, a corrupt spirit that wants to devour human souls. It is then that he meets a Soul Reaper named Rukia Kuchiki, who is injured while protecting Ichigo’s family from the attacker. To save his family, Ichigo accepts Rukia’s offer to take her powers and, as a result, becomes a Soul Reaper.
However, with Rukia unable to regain her own power, Ichigo is faced with the difficult task of hunting down the Hollows that plague his city. However, he is not alone in his fight, as he is later joined by his friends: classmates Orihime Inoue, Yasutora Sado and Uryuu Ishida, who have unique abilities. As Ichigo and his comrades grow accustomed to their new responsibilities and support each other on and off the battlefield, the young Soul Reaper will soon discover that Hollows are hardly the least of his problems.
