Bleach Box Set (Vol. 1-21) by Tite Kubo

This Bleach box set collects the first 21 volumes of Tite Kubo’s manga in one custom box from VIZ Media. It covers the opening story arc, from the night Ichigo Kurosaki becomes a Soul Reaper through his first major battles. Good for new readers starting the series and for fans who want the early volumes on one shelf.

The box also holds two extras you do not get with single volumes: a double-sided poster and a special Bleach collector’s booklet. All 21 books are English-language paperbacks, 4,256 pages in total.

The story in these volumes

Ichigo Kurosaki was born able to see ghosts. When a Hollow, a malevolent lost soul, attacks his family, he takes on the powers of a Soul Reaper. From then on he splits his time between high school and guarding the living from Hollows, while helping troubled spirits move on. Volumes 1 to 21 make up the first full arc of the series.
