THE DEATH TRILOGY OVERTURE

The Death Trilogy Overture is the sixth volume of the Bleach manga series.

Publisher's summary
Ichigo Kurosaki may not know this, but the world he lives in is one predicated on balance - between the living and the dead, between everyday life and the Soul Society. Shinigami aren't merely fighting Hollows, they are charged with the grand task of equalizing the balance of this life and the next. Naturally, if too much energy is channeled to one side, really bad things will happen - just as they're happenig now! Ichigo and Uryū's competititon in advertently results in generating a leviathan of a Hollow whose sheer size is capable of tearing the Shinigami's delicately constructed balance to ribbons. Is Ichigo a Shinigami enough to fell this giant and protect the equilibrium of the universe? Finds out in Tite Kubo's international manga smash-hit Bleach!
