A review by coffeedragon
Bleach, Vol. 5, Volume 5 by Tite Kubo

4.0

There's a lot of interesting stuff happening in this volume. One, we get to learn that a lot of our fun(ny) favorite characters are actually really smart. Or maybe not smart but they study and get good grades. Surprise! But after a few laughs we get into the real plot of the story, and that is introducing Ishida properly (the guy from the last chapter) and where he sort of fits into the, as we come to learn in this volume, spectrum of supernatural beings. Also, while Ishida and Ichigo are the initial focus of the whole volume (the ones who caused the chaos), it's actually time for our minor characters to get the spotlight. Characters that we saw previously have some sort of ghost seeing ability finally come into their powers this volume and I'm sort of left...wondering why they were able to manifest these abilities and what is stopping other normal people from doing the same
