The manga has a total of 686 chapters, which are currently collected in 74 tankobon books. This means that fans have no need to worry about the series ending too soon.

Here is how the anime Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War is described on Comic Natalie:

"Was it all just a coincidence, or was it inevitable? Ichigo Kurosaki gained the powers of a Soul Reaper through a chance encounter. As a Substitute Soul Reaper, Ichigo became caught in the turmoil of the Soul Society, a place where deceased souls gather."

It continues:

"But with help from his friends, Ichigo overcame every challenge to become even stronger… The history and truth kept hidden by the Soul Reapers for a thousand long years is finally brought to light. All things must come to an end--as Ichigo Kurosaki's final battle begins!"
