4.0

Bleach continues to get better and better as we finally reach the best part of the manga.

Ichigo has to save Rukia but in order to do so he has to go through all of soul society. First he must face off against the underlings before he gets over to the Captains. This emotional fueled volume not only has him showing off his new skills but Chad and the Quincy master as well. Action packed, stakes rising, Rukia given hope, and some well placed emotion bits help elevate this title to the next level. A 4 out of 5.
