One date differs between catalogs: for the English edition of volume 1, the Bleach Wiki chapter list gives June 1, 2004 with ISBN 1-59116-441-9, while the volume table above follows the July 6, 2004 date.[9](https://bleach.fandom.com/wiki/Chapters)
The run concluded with volume 74, which Shueisha's own listing describes as the moving final volume, bringing Ichigo's last battle against Yhwach to a close.[10](https://www.shonenjump.com/j/rensai/_list/bleach/)
## English editions
VIZ Media publishes the series in English under the SHONEN JUMP imprint and lists all 74 volumes, with volume 73 flagged "Final Volume!" ahead of volume 74.[1](https://www.viz.com/manga-books/manga/bleach/all) English volumes 2 through 74 are sold digitally at $4.99 each, with volume 1 at $0.99 during promotions.[11](https://www.viz.com/blog/posts/save-on-bleach-products-before-part-3-airs) VIZ also released a **Bleach 20th Anniversary Edition, Vol. 1**, an exclusive volume featuring cover art from the series launch on August 20, 2001 in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.[3](https://www.viz.com/bleach)
**Box sets.** VIZ collected the series into three box sets that cover the numbered run without a gap: Box Set 1 contains volumes 1–21, Box Set 2 contains volumes 22–48, and Box Set 3 contains volumes 49–74.[6](https://mangaeditions.com/guides/bleach-box-set-order/) Box Set 1, released September 2, 2008 (ISBN 978-1-4215-2610-2), packages the first 21 volumes, a double-sided poster, and a collector's booklet in a 4,256-page set with a 15 × 5 1/2 inch trim size.[5](https://www.viz.com/manga-books/manga/bleach-box-sets-volume-1/product/4961) Box Set 2 adds a pilot-story mini-comic and poster, and Box Set 3 includes a cover-art and interview booklet with its poster.[6](https://mangaeditions.com/guides/bleach-box-set-order/)
**3-in-1 omnibus editions.** VIZ also issues the series as 3-in-1 Editions, each binding three numbered volumes; for example, the 3-in-1 Edition Vol. 19 collects volumes 55, 56, and 57.[7](https://www.fpnyc.com/store/go/catalogue/) These omnibuses give collectors a cheaper route through the series than the box sets or individual volumes.[6](https://mangaeditions.com/guides/bleach-box-set-order/)
## Related book releases
Beyond the 74 numbered volumes, the franchise includes companion books and sequel novels. VIZ's Bleach catalog lists *Bleach MASKED: Official Character Book 2* among the special releases.[3](https://www.viz.com/bleach) The sequel novel series *Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World*, written by Ryohgo Narita from original story material by Tite Kubo, appeared in three volumes in Japan: volume I on August 4, 2017 (ISBN 978-4-08-703424-0, 276 pages), volume II on November 2, 2018, and volume III on December 4, 2018; VIZ publishes all three in English, with volume 3 marked as the final volume.[12](https://j-books.shueisha.co.jp/books/search_BLEACH%20Can%27t%20Fear%20Your%20Own%20World.html) • [3](https://www.viz.com/bleach) • [13](https://j-books.shueisha.co.jp/books/bleach_cantfear_01_buy.html) Shueisha has also released digital color editions of the manga and, for the series' 25th anniversary, announced the art books *BLEACH Artbook JET 2026 I* and *II* for October 2, 2026.[4](https://www.shueisha.co.jp/books/items/contents.html?isbn=4-08-873213-8&mode=1) • [2](https://www.shonenjump.com/j/rensai/bleach/)
The volume numbering also serves as a reference point for the anime: VIZ notes that *BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War - Part 3* picks up at chapter 609, which falls in volume 67.[11](https://www.viz.com/blog/posts/save-on-bleach-products-before-part-3-airs)
