That Shonen Jump is going to be publishing Bleach characters on the spine all year?

Well the news was announced end of last year. Seems Jump does this every year or so with one of their series. Last year was One Piece year if I understand correctly. The year before was Naruto Year as far as I know.

Anyway, the spine pictures have been coming out since Jump issue #1 at the start of the year. Unless I have botched my calculations, we are upto issue #24
