With the return of the anime this october, it's a good idea to always have the whole work somewhat fresh in your mind going into the ending arc, and to that end I will storytime the manga (alonside some extras) until the end of fullbring, and then point out things in the adaption as it is happening, to form a better informed view of the manga, for me and (You). Now let's start volume 12: Flower on the Preciple Volume 1:Volume 2:Volume 3:Volume 4:Volume 5:Volume 6:Volume 7:Volume 8:Volume 9:Volume 10:Volume 11:

I couldn't take it so I speed read all Bleach, now it has came ti my realization that it's the only one of the big three that's is still re readable, I cant for the life of me read again Naruto and the borefest that was the war, the same with One Piece that went downhill and never reached the peak that was water 7 and Ennies Lobby, even with bleach having fights that don't go nowhere and can be skipped, as a whole is the best from the 3 shonenshit pillars.
