Ichigo Kurosaki never asked for the ability to see ghosts
- he was born with the gift. When his family is attacked by a Hollow a malevolent lost soul Ichigo becomes a Soul Reaper dedicating his life to protecting the innocent & helping the tortured spirits themselves find peace. Find out why Tite Kubo's Bleach has become an international manga smash-hit! The race to save Rukia from the Soul Society is officially on & Ichigo & company have come to their first roadblock a very very big roadblock. Jindanbo the monstrous fez-sporting gatekeeper hasn't let a single soul enter the Western Gate he guards in over 300 years & he isn't about to change his mind about it just because Ichigo's crew wants to go through either. But in a where-the-rubber-meets-the-road kind of way Ichigo wasn't expecting his assault on the Soul Society to be a piece of cake either. After all that'd just be boring.
