Can it be? Is Rukia Kuchiki, seasoned soul reaper and closest ally to Ichigo Kurosaki really dead? That’s how it looks at the start of the newest instalment of the fan-favourite ghost-busting action saga, Bleach! Ichigo won’t have time to mourn though, as he faces the distressingly powerful Ulquiorra, who reveals his part in luring the now-captive Orihime Inoue to the hellish world of Hueco Mundo. While he’s dragged into a violent battle, the rest of Ichigo’s friends push on in order to rescue Orihime, who finds herself on the defensive against Loly and Menoly – a tag team of Arrancar jealous of MANG9061_3D.jpg
arch-villain Sousuke Aizen’s interest in the girl. The pressure mounts on the good guys and the chance of successfully escaping seems all but impossible in the face of the increasingly powerful enemies they face. Find out if Rukia is the only fatality in this devilishly good collection!
