Manga volume for end of season 1 of Bleach anime I am trying to find the manga volume where the 1st season of the Bleach anime left off.
According to Wikipedia and from what I can surmise from the summaries there, the entirety of Season 1 is covered in the first eight volumes, ending at about chapter 70, just a bit before they arrive to Soul Society.

If you want to pick it up from there, Volume 9 would be where you'd want to start from.
