Bleach, Vol. 11 [Paperback]

Tite Kubo (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2006

Ichigo Kurosaki never asked for the ability to see ghosts - he was born with the gift. When his family is attacked by a Hollow, a malevolent lost soul, Ichigo becomes a Soul Reaper, dedicating his life to protecting the innocent and helping the tortured spirits themselves find peace. Find out why Tite Kubo's Bleach has become an international manga smash-hit!

The race to save Rukia from the Soul Society is officially on, and Ichigo and company have come to their first roadblock, a very, very big roadblock. Jindanb?, the monstrous, fez-sporting gatekeeper hasn't let a single soul enter the Western Gate he guards in over 300 years, and he isn't about to change his mind about it just because Ichigo's crew wants to go through either. But, in a where-the-rubber-meets-the-road kind of way, Ichigo wasn't expecting his assault on the Soul Society to be a piece of cake either. After all, that'd just be boring.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ichigo vs Renji, April 3, 2007

This review is from: Bleach, Vol. 11 (Paperback)

Team Ichigo has been separted while trying to enter the Seireitei to save Rukia from execution. She is being detained in the white tower Senzaikyu, with the Soul Reapers on full alert of Team Ichigo's presence.

With the team separted, they have to rely on their new skills to survive the Soul Reapers attacks. The group has been divided into Ichigo and Ganju (assisted by an unlikely ally), Orihime and Uryu, Chad, and the Cat (forgot the name).

Each of the members have grown much stronger and it shows. Especially with Ichigo and Uryu. Uryu has become a much more mature, interesting, and stronger character. Orihime is much stronger as well, but she gets overshadowed by Uryu. Chad only had a brief appearance, but it's made obvious that he has grown stronger too.

Ichigo shows just how tough he is now, with the rematch between Renji and himself. His strength seems to grow exponentially with each volume and he needs every bit of it against Renji. Ichigo learns very quickly and has become a much better tactian as well.

A must read for the Bleach fan.

Tite Kubo, Bleach: A Star and a Stray Dog (ViZ, 2001)

The crew are still scattered throughout the soul reaper city. Uryu and Orihime are fighting the younger brother of the gatekeeper, while Ichigo and Ganju, along with a new friend they picked up along the way, run into one of the assistant captains. And where are Chad and Mr. Y? Kubo, though, never lets the action get in the way of his characters, which is what makes Bleach so special, even this far down the line. A fantastic series. ****
