Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Strawberry and the Soul Reapers!" Story and art by Tite Kubo. 15-year-old high school student Ichigo Kurosaki has always been able to see ghosts. But this ability doesn't change his life nearly as much as his close encounter with Rukia Kuchiki, a shinigami and member of the mysterious Soul Society, charged with capturing rogue ghosts. While fighting a "Hollow," an evil spirit that preys on humans who display psychic energy, Rukia attempts to lend Ichigo some of her powers so that he can save his family, but much to her surprise, Ichigo absorbs every last drop of her energy! Now a full-fledged shinigami himself, Ichigo quickly learns that the world he inhabits is one full of dangerous spirits, and along with Rukia, who is slowly regaining her powers, it is Ichigo's job to both protect the innocent from Hollows and to help the spirits themselves find peace. With enough attitude to make a grown ghost blush, Ichigo and crew are taking on the after-life one ghoulie at time! Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 200 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $7.95.
