When the stories are very exciting and engaging, I read 4 - 5 numbers in the same day. I can't understand how the pages pass. It is one-on-one for having a good time and gives morale to a person. ^-^

Reading such exciting stories is truly a wonderful experience. It's as if time just flies by when you're immersed in them. You become so engrossed that you lose track of everything else around you. Each page seems to turn effortlessly, and before you know it, you've read several numbers. It not only provides entertainment but also gives a boost to your morale. It makes you feel good and helps you relax. It's a great way to spend your time and escape from the stresses of daily life. ^-^

I was beginning to lose my interest in Bleach with these final few volumes.

Besides the character and the humour, both of which I have a great love for, the plot was becoming a little too filled with filler content for my liking.

Now that Ichigo and his group have actually broken through into the soul society, things are becoming far more captivating. I adored the scene where everyone was falling through the sky until they hit the barrier and were inevitably separated. This led to a really cool fight with Ichigo, along with a new power duo that I know I'm going to absolutely love (Uryu and Orihime!!).

I can't wait for more, especially since Renji is on the next cover (I began this series because of him).

The anticipation is building up inside me as I eagerly await the next instalment to see what adventures and battles await our beloved characters.

Kuukaku plays a crucial role in helping Ichigo and his group reach Seireitei.

However, upon entering, they unfortunately get divided.

Ichigo then finds himself facing Ikkaku, and it is here that we can witness the outcome of his arduous training with Urahara.

This encounter between Ichigo and Ikkaku is highly anticipated as it showcases the growth and development of Ichigo's skills.

The training with Urahara has no doubt equipped Ichigo with new techniques and abilities, which he will now put to the test against Ikkaku.

As the battle unfolds, we can expect intense action and a display of both fighters' strengths and strategies.

Will Ichigo's training prove to be sufficient in defeating Ikkaku?

Only time will tell as the story progresses and we continue to follow Ichigo's journey in the world of Bleach.

Once again, it is forgettable.

Of course, with such a long series, this is bound to occur.

I just hope it wasn't for two consecutive volumes.

Overall, it deserves a 2.5 out of 5.

The story seems to lack the excitement and innovation that made the earlier volumes so engaging.

The characters feel a bit flat and one-dimensional, and the plot doesn't really go anywhere new.

There are some nice moments here and there, but they are not enough to make up for the overall lackluster nature of the book.

Perhaps the author needs to take a break and come back with some fresh ideas for the next installment.

Until then, fans of the series will have to settle for this somewhat disappointing offering.

As they blast their way into the Soul Society with the help of Kukakum, they are getting closer and closer to rescuing Rukia from her demise.

However, the crew find themselves split and chased down by Soul Reapers who wish to take down the intruders.

This story arc marks the beginning and conclusion of Ichigo's first confrontation, enabling us to reestablish where he now stands post-training.

The story is fast-paced and exciting, continuously teasing the upcoming battles with some of the most epic captains yet.

The original text "Lil bit boring" seems rather short and lacks detail. To expand it, we could start by adding some context. For example, we could say something like "The movie I watched last night was lil bit boring." This gives us a starting point to expand on.

We could then describe what made the movie boring. Maybe the plot was predictable, or the characters were not very engaging. We could also mention how we felt while watching the movie, such as feeling restless or uninterested.

To make the text more interesting, we could use some descriptive language. For example, instead of saying "the plot was predictable," we could say "the plot unfolded in a rather predictable manner, leaving little room for surprises."

Here is the expanded text:

The movie I watched last night was lil bit boring.

The plot seemed to unfold in a rather predictable manner, leaving little room for surprises.

The characters, too, failed to engage me on an emotional level.

As I sat through the movie, I found myself feeling restless and uninterested.

Perhaps it was the lack of excitement or the slow pacing that made it so dull.

Overall, it was not a very enjoyable experience.

I hope the next movie I watch will be more engaging and entertaining.

Probably the best one so far... The fight between Ichigo and Ikkaku was truly everything. It was a battle that had fans on the edge of their seats. The intensity of their clash was palpable. Ichigo, with his determination and powerful reiatsu, faced off against Ikkaku, who was no slouch himself. The two combatants exchanged blows with lightning speed, their weapons clashing in a shower of sparks. The fight was not just about strength, but also about strategy and skill. Ichigo had to constantly adapt to Ikkaku's attacks, while Ikkaku was trying to find a weakness in Ichigo's defense. It was a thrilling display of power and perseverance.

Mary Sue and her company manage to infiltrate the Soul Society by means of some crazy crystal ball thing.

Once there, they have to confront all the captains and lieutenants of the Soul Society. The names of these individuals are so numerous that I could not possibly remember them all.

Just as in previous volumes, I find the battle scenes quite enjoyable. However, the seemingly endless leadership members of the Soul Society really annoy me.

It feels like there are just too many of them, and it can be overwhelming to keep track of who is who and what their abilities are.

Despite this annoyance, I still look forward to seeing how Mary Sue and her company will fare in their battle against the powerful forces of the Soul Society.

In this volume, there were numerous battles.

In my view, it is extremely challenging to read battle scenes in mangas. Perhaps it is because I am still a novice manga reader, but it is difficult to comprehend what occurs.

For instance, when Ichigo sliced Ikkaku on two occasions, I was bewildered about what happened and how it transpired. Did Ichigo kill Ikkaku? Or was he merely severely injured?

This is my only drawback to reading mangas; often, you are left to fill in the blanks.

I undoubtedly have more questions regarding Ichigo and Orthime. Will they develop a relationship? And what about Chad? Chad is by far my favorite character in the entire series thus far.

His strength and loyalty are truly admirable, and I am eager to see how his character progresses in the future.

I hope that the author provides more detailed explanations and character development in the upcoming volumes to satisfy my curiosity.

Ichigo is truly the best, oh my goodness!

He is not only an amazing character but also extremely funny.

His actions and expressions always manage to bring a smile to my face.

Whether it's his intense battles or his comical interactions with the other characters, Ichigo never fails to entertain.

His determination and courage are also inspiring, making him a character that I can't help but love.

I think everyone should give Ichigo a chance and see for themselves how great he is.

Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Overall Rating: A+


Synopsis: Ichigo Kurosaki has the ability to see ghosts and engages in numerous battles. This is quite ordinary for him. However, everything changes when he meets Rukia Kuchiki, a Shinigami (Death God) and a member of the mysterious Soul Society. When a Hollow, an evil spirit, attacks Ichigo and his family, Rukia tries to defeat it but gets wounded. To assist him in saving his family, she lends Ichigo some of her powers. But something goes awry, and Ichigo absorbs every last bit of her energy. As a result, Ichigo becomes a temporary Shinigami and teams up with Rukia to handle the hunting of Hollows until Rukia can recover. At least, that was the initial plan...


Before I delved into the manga, I watched the first four episodes of the anime at Stellarcon '06. It was a fansub (this was before it was aired on Adult Swim), so the translation wasn't perfect. Nevertheless, I instantly fell in love with the characters and the mythology of the series. I promptly began reading the manga and planning a costume for Ichigo. A few months later, I cosplayed as Ichigo at Heroescon, having read all the translated manga and watched as much of the anime as I could obtain.


So, what's the significance, right? I believe it lies in the characters. There are numerous of them, and the writer Tite Kubo takes the time to provide them all with detailed backgrounds and relationships. I'm already 19 volumes in, and although there's an abundance of action, it's the character development that has me completely hooked.


In the first 19 volumes, there are three main groups of characters: humans, the Shinigami, and the Quincies. When humans pass away, their souls transform into either Wholes or Hollows. Wholes are ordinary spirits, but the souls that turn into Hollows are corrupted and must feed on the souls of the living (similar to spiritual vampires). The Shinigami release Wholes and assist them in crossing over to the Soul Society (the spirit world), and they cleanse the Hollows so that they can also cross over. They accomplish this using large swords called zanpakutō.


The Quincies, on the other hand, use bows made of spiritual energy in the form of bows to hunt Hollows, similar to the Shinigami. However, unlike the Shinigami, who purify the souls of the Hollows to maintain the balance of souls between the two worlds, the Quincies destroy them. This endangers the balance of the world, and as a result, the two groups engaged in a war. The Shinigami emerged victorious, and now there is only one Quincy left, Uryū Ishida. Despite his animosity towards the Shinigami, Uryū eventually becomes friends with Ichigo and even travels to the Soul Society with him.


This merely touches the surface of the series. I have only watched approximately 50 episodes of the anime, but what I have seen closely follows the manga. I highly recommend exploring the series. It's enjoyable, captivating, and offers some excellent cosplay opportunities.
