After watching (and loving) the Netflix film for Bleach I finally picked up the first three Mangas and I have to say, I have not been disappointed!

Great artwork, original story with well defined characters, onto Vol 2! ⚔

 There were some weird portions of this book that I think were kinda ehh but it didn't completely inhibit my enjoyment of the book. The story starts off strong and it makes me want to read more of the series which I honestly wasn't expecting! I like the art style and I know it gets better as it goes so I'll have to pick up volume 2 soon.

This was actually so much fun and I did not expect it! My boyfriend loves the anime so I bought him the first five books of the manga series. I was so excited about it that I decided to read it myself. I like the main character, I like the plot. I am really a fan of how more comedical it is, than focusing so much on the gore. I struggled with this while reading The Promised Neverland which I wasn't a really big fan of. But this handled it really well, I like the comedic relief and Ichigo and Rukia and I can't wait to continue. At times it was a little difficult to orientate, especially during the action scenes, the pictures were a little confusing but I got through it.
