Bleach Manga Volume 5
Story
Ichigo finds out who that mysterious guy he’d met really was. It turns out he was in his class at school. Uryû Ishida is a Quincy, whatever that is, and he’s got a problem with Soul Reapers.
When Ichigo finally tracks him down, Uryû challenges him to a contest. Uryû breaks a container of hollow bait and tells Ichigo that the town will be swarming with hollows. Whoever kills the most wins.
Ichigo isn’t the only one drawn into the competition. There are others in Karakura that can see spirits. They’ll have to deal with the hollow invasion in their own ways.
My Opinion
Bleach Volume 5 does a great job of putting the characters in bad situations. Chad has to deal with something he can barely see, while Orihime has to deal with a hollow that doesn’t even do it’s own fighting. How they get out of those situations will affect the rest of the story.
One of Tite Kubo’s talents is showcased very well in this volume, the cliffhanger ending. Kubo finds the point that the action really becomes intense then stops the story in such a way that the reader has to get the next volume. It can be frustrating sometimes, but I’m always looking forward to the next part.
Edited to add:
I know I’ve mentioned the endings before. I don’t want to sound repetitive, but I tend to think of it as part of Tite Kubo’s signature style.
Is it worth it?
Bleach is an amazing manga, and Bleach Volume 5 is no exception. It’s well worth picking up. I highly recommend the Bleach manga series.
