If that’s not enough for you from the Bleach creator, you can also pick up Tite Kubo’s excellent BURN THE WITCH manga, which is set in the world of Bleach and follows a pair of witches named Noel Niihashi and Ninny Spangcole who work for the western branch of the Soul Society in Reverse London.
There’s also plenty of amazing manga and other related reading material to stuff stockings with this year. For those who lean toward the culinary side of things, Sanji is here with some delectable delights in the One Piece: Pirate Recipes book. Eat like a king (of the pirates) and learn how to make all the best recipes that keep Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hats going strong on their long, battle-filled journey.
