Prior to serialization, Tite Kubo published a pilot chapter in December 2000. Weekly Shounen Jump debuted the manga the following August. After a 15-year run, Kubo ended the manga in August 2016. Shueisha published the 74th and final volume in November that year.

Studio Pierrot adapted the manga into a television anime that began airing in Fall 2004 and ended with 366 episodes in Winter 2012, covering the first 54 volumes. The manga also received two Jump Festa specials in June 2005 and March 2006, and four anime films in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2010 December.

VIZ Media acquired the series' master license in March 2006 and published the manga in English in its print edition of Shounen Jump magazine from November 2007 to March 2012. The manga simultaneously switched to the Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha digital anthology in January 2012. The company released the 74th and final volume in October 2018 and the 26th home video installment of the anime in September 2015.
