Since its debut in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 2001, Bleach by Tite Kubo has been one of the most popular series in the Shonen Jump manga pantheon.
In addition to being a bestselling series in Japan and North America (over 75 million copies of the now 53-volume series are in print in Japan, and over 2.1 million copies have sold in North America) and many other countries throughout Europe and Asia too, Bleach has spawned a long-running TV anime series, numerous video games, four feature-length animated films, and even a full-blown musical stage production. But for the first time ever, it looks like a live action feature film version of Bleach is on the fast-track to becoming a reality.
hope they dont screw this one up, but it's more likely to screw though...
