Bleach has always been one of my favourite mangas. The story is about an orange hair kid, who could always see ghosts, then one night a girl appeared in his room claiming to be a shinigami . . . A hollow appeared - he had to protect his family and the shinigami got injured whilst protecting him. In return, she gave him her powers to save his family and the rest of the town. I am going to be biased. . .
I'll always give this manga; five stars. ( )

When I discovered anime I preferred Bleach over Naruto. I don't know why exactly because Bleach has a few flaws in its world building. A bit too much unexplained things that never really get an satisfying answer. Still I adored these chapters and in the future will be collecting the omnibussen.

I enjoyed the moments of goofy humor and the excitement of the fights, but feel like I'd probably enjoy the anime more--it was hard to keep track of the characters in black and white (when your protagonist's defining physical trait is his orange hair, it's a shame to keep him in monochrome), and it was so action-packed that sometimes I couldn't tell what was happening in the battles.

Anyway, the main reason I read this is because in 2009 I discovered that Ichigo and I were hair twins, so I've always been mildly curious about the series. Now I know, and I'm only a little sad about the missed cosplay opportunity.

So, I read the first volume of this Manga a few years ago, and totally didn't connect with the story. I was confused by the violence and hyperbole. Now that I've read several Manga and Manwha, I have revised my opinion to MOST EXCELLENT! ( )
