Bleach / Kubo, Tite

Ichigo Kurosaki becomes a Soul Reaper after a Soul Reaper named Rukia lends him her power to protect his family from a Hollow, an evil spirit that preys on the psychic energy of humans. Then, Ichigo must protect Chad when he comes into contact with a spirit hiding in a parakeet, and confronts the Grand Fisher, the Hollow most likely responsible for his mother's death.

"Ichigo may have thought getting into the Soul Society was hard, but it did nothing to prepare him and his friends for the reality of the Seireitei! Now the rescuers are all split up, forced to take on battle-hardened Soul Reapers without backup. Can Ichigo train hard enough and fast enough to take down Rukia's jailer before it's too late?!"--Back cover.

"It's the day of reckoning and Ichigo must fight Byakuya Kuchiki one on one, whether or not his bankai is battle-ready. Meanwhile the mastermind behind the chaos in the Seireitei is about to be revealed, but will the truth spell the end of the Soul Society?!"--Back cover.

With Rukia's execution looming, Ichigo and the rest of the rescue squad must find a way to break her out of the prison as her sentence has been moved up and imprisonment is close to breaking her spirit.

"With the death of Reio at the hands of the Quincy King Yhwach, the world starts to crumble. Soul Reaper Captain General Kyoraku enlists Aizen to help in the war against the Quincies, but is relying on a traitor a wise move? And as Ichigo heads toward Yhwach, he runs into an unexpected figure!"--Back cover.

"The Soul Reapers of Squad Zero continue their defense of the royal palace as Yhwach's strongest Quincies reveal their true powers! But when Hyosube, the leader of Squad Zero, joins the fray, will Yhwach be forced into the fight as well..."--Back cover.

"With the death of Reio at the hands of the Quincy King Yhwach, the world starts to crumble. Hope seems lost until Ukitake performs a mysterious ceremony to save the Soul Society. Meanwhile, Soul Reaper Captain General Kyoraku has his own plan, but will it mean making a deal with the devil?"--Back cover.

"As the battle between the Soul Reapers and Quincies continues to heat up, both sides start experiencing casualties. Yachiru now joins the battlefield and prepares to show her true powers for the first time. However, standing in her way is an opponent whose abilities may defy imagination..."--Back cover.

"The Battle for Karakura Town is heading towards a grim conclusion as Ichigo and his allies continue the bloody melee against Aizen's Espada horde! But there are old ties between the factions, pitting friend against friend. In the end, Captain General Yamamoto himself faces off against Aizen, but what if even his legendary strength isn't enough to defeat the ultimate traitor?!"--Back cover.

Ichigo and company head to the Arrancar fortress in order to rescue Orihime from Aizen.
