Advantages: A great story and great art.

Disadvantages: Too short

The 15th volume from Tite Kubo's epic manga.
The story picks up where it left off in the previous volume. The main character "Ichigo" spends most of the volume training to master a new power that will help him in his quest to save his friend Rukia. It does annoy me when the protagonist doesnt really do anything for a hundred or so pages but in Bleach it is different. There are many other battles going on through the story and the other characters are popular enough to maintain an interesting story.
Ther is some great animation in this book. The battles seem to fly out of the page being wild and exadurated. Detail is retained however and it is a really impressive thing to see. I can only imagine how difficult it is to draw someone getting more powerful. This series centers around people gaining new levels of strength and speed and the animation makes it very easy to see. This also helps in building a character/reader relationship. Tite Kubo is the master of this and this volume is no different to previous ones.
Unfortunately it is relatively easy to get through this book in under 30 minutes. Ofcorse you can go back time and time again to appreciate the art but at £5 a pop it does seem expensive. My advice is to shop around to get the best deal. I have seen a few 3 for 2 offers at shops like waterstones. These sales are seasonal however.

Summary: I love it
