BLEACH Artbook JET 2026 Revives Legendary JET Collection With Newly Included Artwork as Fan Vote Launches

BLEACH Artbook JET 2026 will be released in two volumes on October 2, bringing back the acclaimed BLEACH art collection JET with additional artwork. The original JET drew attention when it was released in December 2018 as an exclusively made to order collection with a lavish deluxe presentation.

The new editions, titled BLEACH Artbook JET 2026 I and BLEACH Artbook JET 2026 II, will include all of the more than 700 illustrations featured in JET, along with BLEACH and BURN THE WITCH artwork created after the original collection was published. The two books will use the same ink and paper as JET in an effort to faithfully recreate the impact of the original release.

BLEACH Artbook JET 2026 I will be priced at ¥4,400 including tax and contain 304 pages, while BLEACH Artbook JET 2026 II will cost ¥3,740 including tax and contain 218 pages. The bonus BURN THE WITCH manga volume that accompanied the December 2018 edition of JET will not be included.

BLEACH ART SELECTION Lets Fans Vote for Their Favorite Artwork

To celebrate the release of BLEACH Artbook JET 2026 I and BLEACH Artbook JET 2026 II, BLEACH is holding its first popularity poll focused on standalone illustrations.

Around 100 artworks selected from the two BLEACH Artbook JET 2026 volumes are featured on a special website. Each person can vote once per day. Based on the results, the top 25 artworks will be selected to commemorate the manga's 25th anniversary, and a special promotional video featuring them will be produced. The official campaign specifies that 96 illustrations are eligible for voting.

A second novelization project that originated with JET is also underway.

Inspired by special illustrations depicting Soul Reapers, Arrancar and Quincy wearing school uniforms, novelist Ryohgo Narita is working on the second school life novelization, DON'T BLEACH MY FIST 2.
