A review by coffeedragon
Bleach, Vol. 8, Volume 8 by Tite Kubo

5.0

we conclude ichigo's training in this volume, which was EPIC. it was brutal, but also not as much as i expected. i mean, it makes sense. ichigo had to start from zero, but i thought there would be more. most of the volume was dedicated to his training but there was also a part where we saw him back with his family and friends, able to enjoy a bit of that summer festival fun. still, pretty heavy atmosphere since they are about to embark on a journey that may or may not be their last (ideally will not but they don't know what they're getting into, truly). some revelations are given about some characters but only enough to make you want to know MORE.
