Bookroo's summary

Ichigo Kurosaki, a student with the unwanted ability to see ghosts, becomes a Soul Reaper after a Hollow attacks his family. Tasked with protecting the innocent and guiding lost souls, Ichigo faces his toughest challenge yet when his friend Chad disappears with a parakeet harboring a young boy's soul. As Ichigo confronts a powerful Hollow, he learns that not all spirits are destined for peace. Can he save his friend and the tormented souls before it's too late?

From the publisher

Part-time student, full-time Soul Reaper, Ichigo is one of the chosen few guardians of the afterlife. Ichigo Kurosaki never asked for the ability to see ghosts–he was born with the gift. When his family is attacked by a Hollow–a malevolent lost soul–Ichigo becomes a Soul Reaper, dedicating his life to protecting the innocent and helping the tortured spirits themselves find peace. Find out why Tite Kubo’s Bleach has become an international manga smash-hit! Immediately after checking into the Kurosaki Clinic with a mysterious scar on his back, the muscle-bound Chad goes AWOL. Accompanying Chad is a talking parakeet imbued with the soul of a young boy named Yûichi. It doesn’t take newbie Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki long to surmise that a Hollow must be involved–the strongest spirit he’s faced to date. Ichigo is about to discover that not every soul is bound for the Soul Society, especially if it’s tainted with innocent blood.
