Bleach Is Officially Coming Back

Bleach is a hugely popular anime series, considered one of the most significant alongside One Piece and Naruto โ€“ often referred to as the ‘Big 3’ of Shonen Jump. For a long time, it was incredibly successful and built a large and dedicated fanbase. However, after the original manga finished, Bleach’s popularity declined, and the anime quality also decreased. It seemed like the series might fade away, but recently, Bleach has experienced a remarkable comeback.

Bleach Is Officially Making A Comeback

  • A new Bleach novel has been announced
  • The series is also releasing a new anime adaptation

At Jump Festa 2026, it was announced that the popular series Bleach is getting a new novel titled Don’t Bleach My Fist. The novel will be penned by Ryohgo Narita, known for his work on Baccano! and Durarara!! โ€“ so fans can expect a unique style. Details revealed at the event were limited to just the title and author.

It’s worth noting that a possible cover for the novel has appeared online, suggesting “Don’t Bleach My Fist” will reimagine the story with Ichigo and the other characters as high school students. This will offer a fresh take on the fantasy manga. While the release date isn’t confirmed, late 2026 seems likely, particularly around the time the last part of the “Thousand Year Blood War” arc is released.

Bleach Also Announced A New Anime

Alongside the new book, fans can also anticipate an anime series called Bleach ‘The Stories.’ This anime will explore the history of Bleach, starting from the very beginning. Itโ€™s divided into five sections, each launching in a different month.
