Contest: Win an Autograph from Bleach Manga-ka Tite Kubo

Didn't make it to San Diego Comic-Con '08 to meet Bleach manga-ka Tite Kubo? Shonen Jump is offering 20 lucky fans a chance to win an Bleach shikishi (autograph board) signed by Kubo-sensei himself.

Just make any purchase from VIZ Media's online Bleach Store and you'll be automatically entered in the sweepstakes. There's lots of new merch to choose from, such as Bleach towels, Soul Reaper shoes and plush Kon backpacks. Otherwise, you can enter the contest here. You'll have to hurry though. Deadline for entries is Friday, September 5, 2008.

There are other freebies available on VIZ Media's Bleach website, including free wallpapers for your computer, and if you've never checked out Bleach before, here's an online preview of the first chapter of this action-packed shonen manga series.
