Bleach celebrates 25 years with art book, exhibition and spin‑off sequel

The Bleach franchise is marking the 25th anniversary of its manga debut in Weekly Shonen Jump (2026) with a series of initiatives. A new art book, Bleach: JET, will collect previously unpublished illustrations that explore the origins of the Shinigami and their villains. In 2027, Japan will host a Bleach exhibition showcasing classic artwork from the series. The spin‑off light‑novel series Don’t Bleach My Fist will receive a sequel that reimagines the universe as a high‑school drama. At the same time, Studio Pierrot’s anime adaptation of the final arc, Thousand‑Year Blood War, is approaching its conclusion, with the battle between Ichigo Kurosaki and Yhwach set to end this year. Episodes continue to air weekly on Hulu, and no further manga or anime projects have been confirmed beyond the current storyline.
