BLEACH Artbook JET Returns in 2026 With New Artwork and Anniversary Projects
Fans of Tite Kubo's BLEACH have another reason to celebrate as the acclaimed BLEACH Artbook JET collection returns in 2026. The art collection is being reissued in two volumes, bringing together hundreds of illustrations from the franchise while adding artwork created after the original edition was released.
The new release gives longtime fans an opportunity to revisit the series' distinctive character designs, expressive artwork, and memorable visual moments.
Two Volumes Celebrate BLEACH's Artwork
The 2026 edition is divided into BLEACH Artbook JET I and BLEACH Artbook JET II. According to published Japanese anime industry reporting, the collection includes more than 700 illustrations from the original artbook alongside additional BLEACH and BURN THE WITCH artwork created later.
The two volumes aim to preserve the presentation quality of the original collection while making the artwork available again to collectors and new fans.
Kubo's art has played an important role in defining the identity of BLEACH, from its distinctive character silhouettes to its striking fashion-inspired designs and dramatic action compositions.
Fans Get a Chance to Vote for Their Favorite Illustrations
The artbook release is accompanied by an illustration popularity poll known as BLEACH ART SELECTION.
Fans can vote for selected standalone illustrations, with the results determining a group of 25 favorite artworks. A special promotional video featuring the selected illustrations is planned as part of the celebration.
The campaign gives readers an opportunity to revisit memorable images from the series and celebrate the artwork that has remained popular throughout its history.
More BLEACH Projects Are on the Way
The announcement also includes additional projects connected to the franchise.
A second school-life novel project, titled DON'T BLEACH MY FIST 2, is in development with novelist Ryohgo Narita.
Meanwhile, BLEACH EX. II, a new edition of the franchise's original art exhibition, is scheduled for summer 2027. Further information about the exhibition is expected to be announced through its official channels.
These projects demonstrate that BLEACH continues to expand beyond its manga and television anime through art, literature, and fan events.
Why the Artbook Matters to Fans
BLEACH has developed a recognizable visual identity through its character designs, dramatic panel compositions, and carefully constructed world.
An artbook allows readers to appreciate these elements outside the pace of a weekly manga chapter or an animated episode. It also offers a closer look at the artwork that helped establish the franchise as one of the best-known series in modern shonen entertainment.
For collectors, the return of JET is an opportunity to revisit the series in a premium artbook format. For newer fans, it offers a way to explore Kubo's visual style and the broader creative world surrounding BLEACH.
