Tite Kubo’s popular manga “BLEACH,” after celebrating ten years running last year, is finally entering into its final story arc.

It’s been a long journey since protagonist Ichigo began his fight against the Hollows and made great friendships with his fellow Shinigami, but all things must come to an end.

Last December, Shueisha published the 53rd volume, while VIZ Media released it electronically last month as part of the Shonen Jump Digital program. Furthermore, the latest arc, “Lost Agent,” recently tapered to an end, making way for the last arc to begin.

Fans have responded:

I think it’s about time […] I will wait for the end and hope it’s a good one

I’m sad even though I knew this was coming […] Well, I hope it wont end too soon, the last story arc has to be epic

It’s been 10 years already? Wow, that long… Well congrats to BLEACH and Tite Kubo for making this anime series last over a decade

BLEACH has been running for so long (longer than I would have liked, personally), so I hope the ending goes out with a bang!
