There were some weird portions of this book that I think were kinda ehh but it didn't completely inhibit my enjoyment of the book. The story starts off strong and it makes me want to read more of the series which I honestly wasn't expecting! I like the art style and I know it gets better as it goes so I'll have to pick up volume 2 soon.

This was actually so much fun and I did not expect it! My boyfriend loves the anime so I bought him the first five books of the manga series. I was so excited about it that I decided to read it myself. I like the main character, I like the plot. I am really a fan of how more comedical it is, than focusing so much on the gore. I struggled with this while reading The Promised Neverland which I wasn't a really big fan of. But this handled it really well, I like the comedic relief and Ichigo and Rukia and I can't wait to continue. At times it was a little difficult to orientate, especially during the action scenes, the pictures were a little confusing but I got through it.

Read the first 9 volumes--not gonna review them separately. Characters were fun but the plot dragged interminably. I kind of just stopped caring. There was no way I could've made it through the whole series. Maybe if I was still 12? That's not a dig on quality; I'm just not the target audience and it lacks that crossover appeal.

Story & Plot: 5 ⭐
Characters: 3 ⭐
Writing: 4 ⭐
Art: 3 ⭐
I only watched the first anime episode and decided to check out the manga instead.
The characters are alright but no one really grew on me much during these few chapters for this volume.
The plot is quite interesting as we find Ichigo thrown into a new environment, one he didn't realise existed, even though he was already able to see ghosts/spirits. It was pretty cool to see Ichigo having a giant blade, signalling the amount of power that he can harness.
Looking forward to reading the next volume!
