More of a 3.5 than a 3. New arc, new characters, and I'm still not sure if I'm gonna enjoy this new plot or not. Hopefully, things get explained much better than they have been because the reasons Ichigo gets for current events in this volume just plain stink. Or maybe my brain is tuckered out from watching Mad Men (BOB BENSON, TELL ME ALL YOUR SECRETS) and can't handle processing all of these Tite Kubo plot twists all at once.

I really like that we are jumping straight into the new arc but I could also see how everyone has changed and evolved over the time jump.

Devo essere onesta: questo nuovo arco narrativo non mi convince sotto diversi punti di vista. Per carità, siamo ancora all'inizio e di cose ne devono ancora succedere, ma in un unico volume è stata buttata così tanta carne al fuoco che ne sono uscita davvero confusa e non so come fare per ricollegare i pezzi, quantomeno quelli mostrati finora.
La lettura è stata molto caotica e confusionaria, ma in generale gli avvenimenti più importanti hanno avuto il giusto impatto.
Quindi in generale non mi sento di dare più di tre stelle.

Creo que ya había leído en su día este tomo y el siguiente, pero no recuerdo casi nada. El desarrollo de Ichigo y como quiere seguir siendo "el protector" a pesar de no tener poderes y los demás excluyéndole para "protegerle". Potencial interesante.

This is the first official volume in the Fullbringer arc, which many fans criticize as being “canon filler”, and it is officially further into the story than I’ve ever seen in the anime. I liked the exploration of Ichigo 17 months after losing his Soul Reaper powers and how quiet his life has become. I loved seeing the younger characters start to look older as the time has passed. This volume felt like an interesting reset as Ichigo attempts to move on from his Soul Reaper days, and it was interesting seeing him as a “normal” human who can’t see spirits. I liked how everyone in the human world that Ichigo is close to now knows his secret and past as a Soul Reaper, it was especially interesting seeing his family interact with him now that they all know the truth about their family’s history. I liked seeing Ichigo’s sisters grow with one determined to protect their family now and the other noticing how Ichigo is hiding his pain. It was also really funny how Karin tells Yuzu that Ichigo “isn’t some anime character”. I like the small look we get into the Fullbringers and their power, and I liked the implication that we’d get more insight into Chad and Orihime’s special abilities in future volumes.

I don't know, I just really like this volume but I can't put into words why.

My favourite side of Bleach isn't the ridiculously drawn out battles, ridiculously long missions or the ridiculously scantily clad women. What I love is the more sublte chapters that showcase characer depth and development. With the time skip that occurs at the start of this volume begins, it's fascinating to see how the characters have aged up and matured in their own unique ways. And best of all is Ichigo - thank you Tite Kubo for giving us the delicious angst content
