Book Description

Publication Date: October 3, 2006

R to L (Japanese Style). Cleaning up the afterlife ? one spirit at a time!

Ever since he was little, Ichigo Kurosaki has been able to see the spirits of the dead, so when a teenage girl materializes through his bedroom wall, this should be no call for alarm. Rukia Kuchiki is a shinigami, a member of the mysterious Soul Society that is charged with capturing rogue ghosts, and is hot on the trail of an evil spirit. But in the ensuing confrontation, Ichigo absorbs Rukia's powers, giving him the ability to not only see the undead, but to fight them as well. Now this 15-year-old high school student begins a brand new vocation: hyperkinetic, all-purpose ghost-busting. With enough attitude to make a grown ghost blush, Ichigo and crew are taking on the after-life one ghoulie at time.

Tite Kubo, Bleach: Beginning of the Death of Tomorrow (ViZ, 2001)

Ichigo and his friends' appearance in the soul reaper city seems to have set off more than just alarm bells, as the entire soul reaper hierarchy is falling apart. Meanwhile, both Uryu and Ichigo make life-changing decisions about their powers as they fight the soul reapers on one front. On the other front are a group of renegade (well, not really, but it often seems that way) soul reapers investigating what really happened to Captain Aizen. A fine series, this, well worth your time. ****

This review is from: Bleach, Vol. 15 (Paperback)

What would you do if evil monsters tried to kill you and your family? Bleach vol. 15 will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time you read it. I have a really high opinion the whole Bleach(tm) series.
The way that Tite Kubo uses his words In Bleach volume 15 is a lot like real people would talk to each other (sometimes in Japanese). He uses phrases that add comedy and spice to the book and that kept you on edge and keeps you thinking. Tite Kubo's writing in manga is very unique I have read most of the bleach series and I tried to change but I couldn't change series so, I read it twice. But, I recently found a similar type of manga called SGT Frog.
The character's talk like they are close to our date and also have some funny moments. If your looking for character's that are funny and talk like they are from this generation just another reason to read this book. Also they are emotional and have a bunch of "moments."
I recommend this series and book to people that are tired of read chapter book and for people that like these show on Cartoon Network®. The people that should avoid this book and series are people that can't stand blood and violence.
