Bleach, Vol. 8: The Blade and Me

By Tite Kubo

Book Overview

Part-time student, full-time Soul Reaper, Ichigo is one of the chosen few guardians of the afterlife.

Ichigo Kurosaki never asked for the ability to see ghosts--he was born with the gift. 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. Find out why Tite Kubo's Bleach has become an international manga smash-hit

Ichigo knows that to retrieve Rukia from the Soul Society, he'll have to enter that world himself. But his fight with Rukia's brother Byakuya showed, in no uncertain terms, that Ichigo still has a great deal of rigorous study and training ahead of him. Deep beneath Kisuke's Urahara Shoten, Ichigo practices his fighting and hones his spiritual energies, and now he must face the most daunting challenge of all: prevent his Chain of Fate from consuming itself, or be forever transformed into a soul-devouring Hollow

Awesome

The ever expanding universe of Tite Kubo's masterpiece, Bleach, expands again with this awesome volume.

The duel!

Tite Kubo, Bleach: The Blade and Me (ViZ, 2002) Ichigo continues his training, culminating in a duel with hat-and-clogs himself. The other folks involved in Ichigo's loosely-knit band are also preparing, in their own ways, for the journey to free Rukia from her imprisonment. The usual mix of action ad character development, and with the same (sometimes surprisingly) high quality we've come to expect from Bleach. Good stuff, this. ****

ICHIGO and his SWORD

I loved Bleach 8. It helped me understand the series a little better. At first I didn't grasp the concept of a soul reapers sword. But now this book has opened a new door of understanding for me. I was hooked the first time I saw it sitting on a shelf at borders.
