Shueisha made several Bleach-related announcements during Jump Festa 2024, and one of them will be available immediately. The first announcement mentioned the release of an audiobook based on the 2016 novel Bleach about the marriage of Rukia Kuchiki and Renji Abarai. The second season reveals a new rock show that will return after an eight-year hiatus.
The new audiobook offers voiceovers and sound effects for part of Bleach: We Do Knot Always Love You. Shueisha originally published the novel in Japan in December 2016 and digitally in January 2017. The film features new voices from Fumiko Orikasa, Kentaro Ito, and Ryotaro Okiayu, who reprise their roles. Their respective roles are Rukia, Renji and Byakuya. Ayako Kawasumi also provides narration for the audiobook.
The Bleach Rukia and Renji audiobook, nearly 16 minutes long, is available to watch on YouTube:
