Colourful Bleach

The Colourful Bleach was a series of two page Bleach chapters that were serialised in V-Jump on a monthly basis for a period of two years starting circa summer 2005 and ending sometime in 2007. The series was discontinued by Tite Kubo due to time pressure with promises of continued production should circumstances change. The chapters were collected in a Tankowbon around July 2007, with the advertising for it appearing in Bleach manga chapter 285.

These chapters generally concerned the daily lives of the Gotei 13 Shinigami but a few did feature non-Gotei 13 characters such as Ganju Shiba and the Kurosaki family. The Colourful Bleach chapters often broke the forth wall by incorporating such things as the Jump Fiesta, which formed a major storyline for the series having seven chapters dedicated to it, as well as Bleach video games. The Shinigami Women's Association and it's members featured heavily in the chapters.
