When Tite Kubo’s Bleachfirst arrived in the early 2000s, it anchored the shonen boom. As one-third of the legendary "Big Three" alongside Masashi Kishimoto’s Narutoand Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece, it helped define an era of supernatural action storytelling, even though Bleachhad a slightly different tone than its peers.
