Once you have reviewed one volume of Bleach, there is not much more to say.

For me, they are all enjoyable. Some are a little more so than others, but in general, my review will be much the same.

This volume, in particular, I liked a bit more than some of the others. There is an abundance of action that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

The story unfolds with exciting battles and intense moments that make it a page-turner.

And then there is that one scary hollow that adds an extra layer of thrill and anticipation.

Overall, it's another great installment in the Bleach series that fans will surely love.

Whether you're a long-time follower or new to the series, this volume has something to offer.

So if you're looking for an action-packed and engaging read, give this volume of Bleach a try.

You won't be disappointed.

Manga, particularly Shonen, is often divided into larger arcs rather than volumes. Given this, I will analyze and review "Bleach" by arc. I spent two months rereading this manga, sometimes reading up to 100 chapters a day. Reviewing each 7 - 8 chapter volume would be quite tedious, so this format will be used throughout all 72 manga volumes.

It should be noted that if you're reading this without having seen the series, there is a spoiler warning. I won't recap everything, but I will mention events that occur. If you're wondering whether you should pick this up, the answer is yes. Even if you stop at the end of the Soul Society Arc, it's worth it.

The Karakura Town Arc (Chapters 1 - 56) has a rating of 7/10. It's a fun introduction with an interesting premise about ghosts and demons (Hollows). It does a good job of introducing the characters, although it has a bit of a "monster of the week" feel. Some characters, like Chad, Orihime, and Uryu, are well-liked, while others, like Don Kanonji, feel superficial and gimmicky.

The Soul Society Arc (Chapters 57 - 182) is rated 10/10 and is considered the height of "Bleach". It establishes an afterlife seemingly perfectly, with top-tier fights and inspiring themes. However, Ichigo's lightning speed progression can be a bit of an issue, and there are a large number of characters introduced, which can be overwhelming at times.

The Hueco Mundo Arc (Chapters 183 - 423) has a rating of 7/10. I would personally split this arc into two parts. The first half is a great continuation of the previous arc, with Ichigo struggling with his inner demons and the introduction of the Arrancars/Espada, who are one of my favorite villain factions. However, the second half takes a dip in quality, with fights that lack themes and character revelations.
The Fullbring Arc (Chapters 424 - 479) has a rating of 8/10 and is an underrated arc. It's the shortest arc in the series and focuses on Ichigo getting his powers back. It gives much-needed attention to the original cast and has a well-foreshadowed twist. However, the end is super rushed, and the appearance of the soul reapers feels forced and fanservicey.
The Thousand Year Blood War Arc (Chapters 424 - 689) has a rating of 5/10 and is the final and largest arc in the "Bleach" story. While it has some phenomenal moments, like Kenpachi's Shikai and Bankai, it also has many flaws. The arc is very rushed, with 26 new villains being introduced but not given enough screen time. The villains' powers seem random, and the finale feels underwhelming.
Overall, "Bleach" has a rating of 7.4/10, which is above average. It has its ups and downs, but when it's good, it's peak shonen. However, when it's bad, it can be very forgettable.

Why does the declining Shindo clan have it in for Rukia and especially Ganju? This is discovered in this volume: the noble Kaien, after the death of his wife, wants to avenge her and rushes to kill the Hollow responsible. However, it ends up possessing him and turning him against his own captain and against Rukia, who had welcomed him into her company.

"Thank you, you know? Thanks to you, now I can leave my heart here" are Kaien's last words.

There is less and less time until Rukia's execution and meanwhile the fantastic Kenpachi is preparing to fight against two captains, Komamura and Tosen: "Now I'll cut you and finish this".

The story unfolds with intense emotions and thrilling battles. The fate of Rukia hangs in the balance, and the actions of the characters drive the plot forward. Kaien's tragic end adds a layer of depth to the narrative, while Kenpachi's fierce determination makes for an exciting showdown. As the countdown to Rukia's execution continues, the reader is left on the edge of their seat, eager to see what will happen next.

Get a back story.

There was a situation that happened recently. I found myself in a rather puzzling circumstance. I was faced with a problem that seemed to have no easy solution.

As time passed and things started to change, I knew I had to find answers. The situation was evolving, and it was about to get serious.

I began to dig deeper, looking for clues and connections. I talked to people who might have some insights or information.

With each passing day, I felt a growing sense of urgency. I knew that I couldn't let this situation spiral out of control.

Finally, after much effort and research, I started to uncover some answers. It wasn't easy, but I was determined to get to the bottom of things.

As I continued to piece together the puzzle, I realized that the situation was more complex than I had initially thought. But I was ready to face the challenge and deal with whatever came my way.

With the answers in hand, I could now make informed decisions and take the necessary steps to resolve the situation.

I was relieved that I had been able to find a way forward, but I also knew that there was still a long way to go.

Nevertheless, I was confident that with my newfound knowledge and determination, I could overcome any obstacle and emerge victorious.

Once upon a time, there was a story that involved a heart-wrenching moment. It was a tale that would forever be etched in the memories of those who witnessed it. The scene began with a beautiful yet tragic figure, Rukia. Her eyes held a hint of sadness and longing. As the wind gently blew her hair, a flashback occurred. It was a memory of a time when she was happy and carefree. But that happiness was short-lived. Something had happened that changed everything. Now, she stood there, her heart breaking

Renji's bankai reveal was truly awesome. I can't even begin to lie to you about that.

The rest of the story was also quite good. Kenny's aura farming by fighting two captains simultaneously was extremely cold.

There hasn't been too much of Ichigo lately, but my favorite moment in this arc is即将在接下来的几卷中发生, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for it.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what comes next and how the story will unfold.

Hopefully, it will live up to my expectations and continue to be as exciting as it has been so far.

Overall, I'm enjoying this arc and can't wait to see what the future holds for these characters.

The story of "Bleach" continues to unfold with great intensity. Rukia's execution day is drawing near, and the situation is growing more desperate. Ichigo is training feverishly to obtain Bankai, but time is running out. Meanwhile, the Soul Society is in turmoil as Captain Aizen is found dead, and the search for the culprit begins. Hitsugaya suspects Gin and engages in a fight with him, only to be surprised when Hinamori attacks him instead.


We also get a glimpse into Rukia's past with the appearance of Kaien Shiba. His impact on Rukia is significant, and his easygoing and caring personality make him instantly likable. However, his tragic death and inability to find peace in the afterlife are truly upsetting. I can't help but wish he had survived and wonder what kind of dynamic he would have had with other characters, especially Ichigo.


The end of this volume leaves us with many questions. Will Ichigo achieve Bankai in time to save Rukia? Will Zaraki emerge victorious in his fight against the captains? What about Renji's attempt to save Rukia? And what will happen to Hitsugaya and his plan to stop the execution? We'll have to wait until the next volume to find out. One thing is for sure, though - this story is far from over!

A very interesting volume that sets up a new conflict in which interesting allies will be involved. It seems to me that the theme of Russia's past is explained as "and this happened, boom, next". I would have liked it more if it was more step by step and seeing parts of the flashback distributed.

For example, instead of just briefly stating what happened in the past, it could have delved deeper into the events, showing the details and the emotions of the characters at that time. This would have made the story more engaging and the readers could have better understood the significance of those past events.

Also, the distribution of the flashbacks could have been more strategic. Instead of just randomly inserting them, they could have been placed at key moments in the story to build tension or to provide important context. This would have enhanced the overall narrative and made the reading experience more enjoyable.

Time is rapidly slipping away for Ichigo and his friends as they valiantly strive to save Rukia.

Their determination is palpable, and the sense of urgency is thick in the air. With each passing moment, the situation grows more perilous, but they refuse to give up.

This series is truly awesome. The captivating storyline, filled with action, adventure, and mystery, keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

The characters are well-developed and engaging, with unique personalities and abilities. Ichigo, in particular, is a compelling protagonist, with his unwavering spirit and desire to protect those he loves.

As the countdown to Rukia's fate continues, fans of the series are eagerly anticipating the outcome. Will Ichigo and his friends succeed in rescuing her, or will time run out before they can? Only time will tell in this thrilling and unforgettable series.

A great continuation indeed! I truly love the training sessions with Ichigo.

They are not only exciting but also help me to improve my skills. However, there is one small issue that I have been facing.

Whenever I take a short break from the training, I find myself a bit overwhelmed when it comes to remembering all of the characters.

There are so many of them, each with their own unique personalities and abilities.

It can be quite a challenge to keep track of them all.

That being said, I think I might have to start watching the anime to get a better understanding of the characters and their backstories.

This way, I can familiarize myself with them more easily and not have to worry about forgetting who is who.

I'm really looking forward to delving deeper into the world of Bleach and continuing my training with Ichigo.

It's a really good volume.

It mainly focuses on Ichigo's training with Zangetsu as they strive to reach the next level.

Here, the emphasis is not so much on Ichigo but more on others.

We witness an interesting fight between Hitsugaya and Hinamori after she receives that letter from Aizen.

Their encounter is both heartbreaking and a great showdown.

Also, Hitsugaya has a confrontation with Ichimaru Gin as he suspects something fishy is going on.

We then check in with Ichigo, and Renji shows up to train as well, seemingly to motivate Ichigo.

However, when the execution is moved forward, they have to act fast.

Meanwhile, Kenpachi engages in a fight with the other captains, specifically Tousen and Komamura, also known as the animal man.

It's an interesting face-off.

This volume is great, with the stakes getting higher and higher.

The next volume is bound to be even more exciting and significant!
