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.

This review is from: Bleach, Vol. 19 (Paperback)

Volume nineteen of the super-stylish Bleach manga begins with the conclusion of the battle from the volume eighteen between 2nd squad captain Soifon and her former leader/idol Yoruichi Shihouin. It's immediately followed by a brief flashback of the history between the two.

Next up is the long awaited showdown between makeshift soul reaper (or shinigami, if you're gonna be a snob about it) Ichigo Kurosaki and 6th captain Byakuya Kuchiki. Both reapers show off their bankai until it comes down to an explosive final clash.

The volume ends with captain 10, Tôshirô and his vice captain Rangiku making a shocking discovery.

Volume nineteen is a lot of fighting, centering around a pivotal battle that has been building for over ten volumes. That's not a negative asscessment of it. It never loses sight of why there is all this bloddshed going on. If you've been following this long, you're going to love this volume.

Only one more volume to go the Soul Society arc.
