Even if I didn't know that there were only 3 volumes left， you can still feel the end approaching。 With that， the author has made no effort in making this apparent to the reader。 He clearly has no methodology in his writing。 Overall， a 1/5。 Even if I didn't know that there were only 3 volumes left， you can still feel the end approaching。 With that， the author has made no effort in making this apparent to the reader。 He clearly has no methodology in his writing。 Overall， a 1/5。 。。。more

Not as odd as a couple of the last volumes。 Good back story。

Megan Lowde ，

Well， we get to see Shunsui's bankai in this volume， a well as Nanao's ability and her past with Shunsui， which was more than interesting。 Plus it hints at the return of Toshiro and Matsumoto， who have been de-zombified by Mayuri （one of the few good things he's done in this lifetime） at the detriment to the length of their lives， mind。 It was an interesting volume， though I'm still not entirely sure I understand their powers or what the heck is actually going on。 Well， we get to see Shunsui's bankai in this volume， a well as Nanao's ability and her past with Shunsui， which was more than interesting。 Plus it hints at the return of Toshiro and Matsumoto， who have been de-zombified by Mayuri （one of the few good things he's done in this lifetime） at the detriment to the length of their lives， mind。 It was an interesting volume， though I'm still not entirely sure I understand their powers or what the heck is actually going on。 。。。more

Subham ，

At this point this just feels so much like filler stuff， there is nothing good happening， same old unnecessary battles。 Like okay Mayuri had a good battle and then some good moments between the captain commander and the X-Axis but then this battle which should be over within 3chs will take 20 chs to get over。 Disappointing volume and just an unnecessary slog to get through。

Nemu and Mayuri's battle concludes， and Shunsui faces off against his own opponents who changes shapes in the most bizarre and grotesque ways。 Honestly I don't understand what Shunsui's powers actually are they're so complicated and not particularly exciting to watch like so many others。 We also get a Nanao origin and how here and Shunsui are linked， despite the link not really doing anything。 This phase of the arc is weird， lots of big late-game origin stories coming through with vice captains Nemu and Mayuri's battle concludes， and Shunsui faces off against his own opponents who changes shapes in the most bizarre and grotesque ways。 Honestly I don't understand what Shunsui's powers actually are they're so complicated and not particularly exciting to watch like so many others。 We also get a Nanao origin and how here and Shunsui are linked， despite the link not really doing anything。 This phase of the arc is weird， lots of big late-game origin stories coming through with vice captains suddenly becoming super powerful when their supposedly-powerful captains are struggling。 It's a strange pattern that's not very enjoyable。 。。。more

This volume concludes the battle between Pernida， Nemu， and Mayuri， and then focuses on Kyoraku and his battle against Lille。 With the focus set upon his character's bankai as well as Nanao's origin story， the volume ends by teasing the second-half of this confrontation。It is odd that such an interesting backstory was presented so late in the franchise， especially at such a critical moment where the stakes are at their highest。There are some good moments introduced here but much of it is diluted This volume concludes the battle between Pernida， Nemu， and Mayuri， and then focuses on Kyoraku and his battle against Lille。 With the focus set upon his character's bankai as well as Nanao's origin story， the volume ends by teasing the second-half of this confrontation。It is odd that such an interesting backstory was presented so late in the franchise， especially at such a critical moment where the stakes are at their highest。There are some good moments introduced here but much of it is diluted by another poorly-developed villain who is simply there only for the sake of allowing these secondary characters the chance to battle。Obviously， this is also another stretched out volume that is stalling the upcoming battle involving Ichigo and the main boss。Yours truly，Lashaan | Blogger and Book ReviewerOfficial blog: https://bookidote。com/ 。。。more

Bleach， Vol。 71 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters （643–652） of the on-going manga series with an additional bonus story。Pernida Parnkgjas eventually kills Nemu Kurotsuchi， but by devouring her body， it explodes and dies due to the presence of lethal materials in the corpse。 Mayuri Kurotsuchi retrieves Nemu's brain and heals himself with Kenpachi Zaraki。 While Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto cured of their zombications， join the battlefield。 Bleach， Vol。 71 continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next ten chapters （643–652） of the on-going manga series with an additional bonus story。Pernida Parnkgjas eventually kills Nemu Kurotsuchi， but by devouring her body， it explodes and dies due to the presence of lethal materials in the corpse。 Mayuri Kurotsuchi retrieves Nemu's brain and heals himself with Kenpachi Zaraki。 While Tōshirō Hitsugaya and Rangiku Matsumoto cured of their zombications， join the battlefield。Meanwhile， Lille Barro tries to kill the entire remaining group of Shingami that are running along to the palace， but he is stopped by Shunsui Sōzōsuke Jirō Kyōraku， starting a fight against him。 Kyōraku seemingly gains the upper hand against Lille， but the latter activates his Vollständig and dominates the Captain-Commander。 While Gerard Valkyrie confronts Byakuya Kuchiki， Renji Abarai， Rukia Kuchiki， Shinji Hirako， and Momo Hinamori， Kyōraku releases his Bankai and manages to seemingly defeat Lille。However， the Quincy manages to survive and undergoes another transformation of his Vollständig and nearly kills Kyōraku until Nanao Ise intervenes。 Kyōraku decides to tell Nanao the history of her family and gives her back her Zanpakutō， which he kept safe as a promise to Nanao's mother。 Shortly after that， the Captain and the Lieutenant return to face Lille。This tankōbon is written and illustrated by Tite Kubo。 The tankōbon continues the second invasion of the Seireitei by the Sternritter。 It focuses on the outer-fights mainly concluding the fight with Pernida Parnkgjas and Mayuri Kurostsuchi's group and continues the fight with Lille Barro and Shunsui Sōzōsuke Jirō Kyōraku’s group， which should be concluding soon。 Once again， there is a lot of retrospective musing and world building – even this late in the series。All in all， Bleach， Vol。 71 is a wonderful continuation to a series that seems intriguing and I cannot wait to read more。 。。。more

You know how you have an old friend that you only talk to periodically， but you still love them？ That's me and Bleach。 I hadn't popped back in for awhile， but I see it continues to be a fun read with distinctive monsters， easy-to-care-about characters， and basically exists as a fun romp。 Might have to go do a re-read of the whole thing in a few years。 Should be fun！ You know how you have an old friend that you only talk to periodically， but you still love them？ That's me and Bleach。 I hadn't popped back in for awhile， but I see it continues to be a fun read with distinctive monsters， easy-to-care-about characters， and basically exists as a fun romp。 Might have to go do a re-read of the whole thing in a few years。 Should be fun！ 。。。more

Yes， I'm still reading these。 I swear half of my boredom with this arc is the fact that I'm having to read each chapter as they are published， once a week - if that。 It makes for a very long， very drawn out read。 I don't know how the Japanese fans do it。 But it's got to be coming to a close。 Soon。 Soon！ Yes， I'm still reading these。 I swear half of my boredom with this arc is the fact that I'm having to read each chapter as they are published， once a week - if that。 It makes for a very long， very drawn out read。 I don't know how the Japanese fans do it。 But it's got to be coming to a close。 Soon。 Soon！ 。。。more

Given that Manga， and especially Shonen is split up into bigger arcs as composed to volumes I will be analyzing and reviewing this by Arc。 I also reread this manga over the span of 2 months， some days reading as much as 100 chapters a day。 It would be quite tedious for me to review each 7-8 chapter volume。 So this will be copy and pasted throughout all of the 74 manga volumes。 That being said， if you're looking at this without having viewed the series。。。spoiler warning。 I don't recap anything， b Given that Manga， and especially Shonen is split up into bigger arcs as composed to volumes I will be analyzing and reviewing this by Arc。 I also reread this manga over the span of 2 months， some days reading as much as 100 chapters a day。 It would be quite tedious for me to review each 7-8 chapter volume。 So this will be copy and pasted throughout all of the 74 manga volumes。 That being said， if you're looking at this without having viewed the series。。。spoiler warning。 I don't recap anything， but I also mention things that happen。 If you want me to answer the question "Should I pick this up？" Yes。 Even if you stop at the end of the Soul Society Arc。 It's worth it。 Karakura Town Arc - Chapters 1-56 - Rating: 7/10（The official page lumps this in with the Soul Society Arc however I feel as if they are two very separate arcs with two very separate themes） - A fun introduction。 -An interesting premise on the idea of ghosts and demons （Hollows） -Does a good job of introducing the characters and I especially enjoyed the love for characters like Chad， Orihime and Uryu as these characters would later lose more and more spotlight as the series went on。 -It is a bit of a monster of the week。 When it works， like with Chad's introduction story。 It works。 But Characters like Don Kanonji felt superficial and very gimmicky。 Which， fair。 I didn't enjoy them as much。 Soul Society Arc - Chapters 57-182 - Rating: 10/10-The height of Bleach -Establishes an afterlife seemingly perfectly。 Later on revealed to be full of plot holes and never fleshed out but hey！ That's not an issue in THIS arc。 The fights are top tier， the themes of Ichigo owing a life debt to Rukia and his passion and determination to rise above literally God's army is inspiring and to this day is why I love Ichigo so much。 He doesn't have some grandiose plan。 He doesn't have a major goal to accomplish。 He is a protector by heart， losing his mother has made him sour to failing to protect those he cares about and he'll do anything in his power never to feel that helpless again。 Very powerful stuff。 -The twist near the end of this arc is revolutionary and would make waves for the next 200 chapters onward。 A perfect ending and set up for the forthcoming arc。 -The only issues I have for this arc would be Ichigo's lightning speed progression。 The guy goes from being able to barely defeat a third seat to besting multiple captains in roughly 100 or less chapters。 I get that that is the point and him defeating captains was more of a struck of luck， but progression and pacing wise it feels very unearned and a factor of "for the plot he needed to be this strong" It only seems as fast as it is because Ichigo's progression slows drastically down for the rest of the story moving foreword so it's only now that I make that criticism。-Also， and this will be an issue in most Shonen。 There are 13 Captains with 13 Vice Captains and seats that branch all the way to 10 I believe？ Regardless， there's a fudge ton of characters that are introduced here and it can get a little jarring at times。 Luckily， Kubo does a great job at making their designs and characters unique despite such a large cast。 Hueco Mundo Arc - Chapters 183-423 - Rating 7/10-This is another arc where personally I would split it up into two separate arcs。 But for the sake of this review I will simply refer to the first half of the arc and the later half of the arc。 First Half 9/10。 Second Half。 5/10。 -The first half of this arc is a great continuation of the last。 Ichigo now struggles with his inner demons and it affects his ability to protect the ones he loves。 We are also introduced to a deadly unknown new villains。 The Arrancars/Espada to this day remain one of my favorite villain factions in all of manga enemies。 -Just so you're aware I would say the first half of this arc ends right around the point of Ichigo vs Grimmjow。 Grimmjow is one of the first Arrancar that Ichigo faces。 And he's also one of two Espada that he faces three times。 The conclusion of that fight shows Ichigo conquering his inner demons。 Where Grimmjow is very much fighting to establish himself。 Grimmjow has to fight Ichigo to prove to his fallen comrades that he is as good as he says he is。 He doesn't care about Aizen， he doesn't care about the rest of the Espada。 It is very personal for him。 For Ichigo， Orohime is within his grasp of saving and he views this as his "final" battle。 It's my favorite fight in all of Bleach。 -However， this is where things start to take a bit of dip in quality in my opinion。 We had a goal and we were striving towards that goal。 Each character of the original cast coming to repay the debt they made to their friend who had risked her life to save them in the Soul society arc。 But somewhere along the way it seems we just had a fighter fest。 Captains would face enemies with no themes or character revelations。 The Espadas got a little light but nothing that made their fights compelling。 You almost just feel bad for the Espada as they were monsters turned into a military force by an unstoppable tyrant。 But even that wasn't enough to make half of the fights interesting。 Now， that's with knowing the outcome。 These fights played little importance in the larger scheme of things。 Where at least in the Hueco Mundo fights each match up had the protagonists striving for a goal。 Rukia to defeat Aaroneiro to free her former superiors soul。 Byakuya to defend Rukia。 Renji and Uryu teamwork。 Nel to protect Ichigo and get revenge on Nnoitra。 Whereas Stark fought Kyoraku。。。。。cause。。。。。and Hitsugaya fought Halibel because Water vs Ice would be cool。 -This leaves me to the end。 I won't say it wasn't satisfying that Ichigo was able to defeat Aizen。 And yes， I do feel like his new power was earned。 3 months of training。 But this was clearly a last minute decision to save Aizen for a later date and the show must go on。 I do feel like it wasn't as satisfying as 200+ chapter buildup needed to be。 The Fullbring Arc - Chapters 424-479 - Rating: 8/10-A very underrated arc。 And yes， I acknowledge that rating wise I think the Fullbring arc is superior to the Hueco Mundo arc。 That is mostly true。 Though I like the first half of the Hueco Mundo Arc more than the Fullbring arc。 The end of the HM arc really brought it down for me。 The Fullbring Arc is much more concise and is actually the shortest arc in the series and works as a glorified Ichigo getting his powers back arc。 But that doesn't mean its bad。 -When I read it originally back when it was coming out in 2010。 （Cause I'm Old） It wasn't phenomenal。 In fact， I hated it。 But wouldn't you？ It took just short of a year to get to the point that we were at。 But upon rereading it， it gave much deserved love to the characters who hadn't been shown love in quite some time。 The original cast。 It was a very character focused arc。 Ichigo never seemed more human。 And despite me hating it before for taking so long， reading weekly can sometimes hurt these mystery based arcs。 The twist is heavily foreshadowed and I really appreciated it。 -That being said， the end was super rushed。 This was a big bummer for me。 The villains this time around were humans。 And the ones who had the most exposure and relations with these characters were the original cast who again。。。。were humans。 So to have the soul reapers， who have no connection to the fullbringers show up and basically no diff most of the fullbringers felt very forced and fanservicey to me。 This very well could have not been Kubo's call。 As the community was very vocal about their dislike for this arc as it was going on。 But I appreciate it now much more as I appreciate character and story over big sword fights。 Lol。 The Thousand Year Blood War Arc - Chapters 424-689 - Rating: 5/10-And we're finally here。 The final and largest arc within the Bleach story。 And man。。。does it not stick the landing。 -That being said， this arc has phenomenal moments。 Kenpachi's Shikai and Bankai。 Ichigo's double swords。 Renji's true Bankai。 Rukia's Bankai。 And many more。 However， they are put together against the most break neck speed arc that I have ever read。 Kubo was very ambitious when he introduced 26 new villains。 However， most of them got barely any screen time and a lot of them even got off screened by higher level captains。 This was unlike the Espada who each got a full double page spread for their Resurrections。 -Yhwach himself was a phenomenal villain but was dealt with swiftly and imo dirty。 They did him dirty。 -There was just something off。 The mood changed and it was very apparent。 The villains had random powers instead of the powers reflecting their personalities or needs。 The finale felt so underwhelming。 -Ichigo gets to be the strongest he's ever been。。。。but he doesn't defeat a single person besides the main villain despite being in several fights。 -It isn't a good arc。 In fact， I would say it's the worst。 Hopefully the anime does a better job with this already mammoth of a story。 260 chapters is no joke。 This gives the story of Bleach an Overall rating of 7。4/10。 Which to me is above average。 It has it's ups and downs。 It's not perfect。 But when it's high， it's peak shonen。 But when it's low， it's very forgettable。 。。。more

We finally get to find out about what happened to the Zombie Soul reapers。 However， there is not much Ichigo in this volume at all if you are hoping for something more。 Bleach as usual does not dissapoint in its action sequences or it straight to the point banter between fighters。 I loved every moment of this one but I cannot help but feel that this is winding down。

I was entertained。 But was Ichigo even in this volume？ He was？ Dang。。。 （goes back to re-read）。。。， a page？ OK this story really needs more Ichigo I mean the blurb on the book still says this is the story about Ichigo and his "perfectly normal and average" friends。 But seriously， I am glad we moved on from the evil mad scientist soul reaper and moved onto Captain Kyoraku。 I find him a much more interesting character， though he seems to have become even more emo than in the past for some reason。 Go I was entertained。 But was Ichigo even in this volume？ He was？ Dang。。。 （goes back to re-read）。。。， a page？ OK this story really needs more Ichigo I mean the blurb on the book still says this is the story about Ichigo and his "perfectly normal and average" friends。 But seriously， I am glad we moved on from the evil mad scientist soul reaper and moved onto Captain Kyoraku。 I find him a much more interesting character， though he seems to have become even more emo than in the past for some reason。 Go Nanao！ 。。。more
