Last week Bleach made a prominent announcement on its return, which put life into a lot of dead fans. Bleach’s final arc: Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War is finally getting an anime adaptation after eight years.
However, in the meantime, Tite Kubo showed he still got it when he released a one-shot Bleach spin-off manga in 2018 called Burn the Witch. The manga is based on the lives of two witches working for the Western Branch of Soul Society, in London.
It has been announced that Burn the Witch is getting an anime movie adaptation this autumn.
