Product Description
Hot-tempered 15-year-old Ichigo Kurosaki, the hero of the popular fantasy-adventure Bleach, has the unsettling ability to see spirits who are unable to rest in peace. His sixth sense leads him to Rukia, a Soul Reaper who destroys Hollows (soul-devouring monsters) and ensures the deceased find repose with the Soul Society. When she's injured in battle, Rukia transfers her sword and much of her power to Ichigo, whose spiritual energy makes him a formidable substitute Soul Reaper. But the orange-haired teenager isn't sure he wants the job: too many risks and moral dilemmas.

And you thought it couldn't get any better... December 7, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
"Tattoo on the Sky" finds our heroes as guests of the slightly crazy explosives expert Shiba Kuukaku--Ichigo, Yoruichi-san and company need her help breaking and entering into Seireitei. Kuukaku's brother Ganjuu, with whom Ichigo tangled in the previous volume, is hanging around too, with predictable (and amusing) consequences as far as Ichigo's temper goes. Although the group succeeds in turning themselves into a spirit-force cannonball, once they arrive in Seireitei, the fun is just getting started. Meanwhile, meetings of the captains and vice-captains of the 13 squads are held, and Ichimaru Gin is called on the carpet to answer for his unapproved actions regarding the intruders.
In my opinion Bleach is probably the best shounen manga in print today. Tite Kubo is certainly one of the best mangaka; his artwork is always amazing, his shifts from chibi form and back are perfectly timed, and he has an uncanny ability to pick the exact moment to depict in every frame. The sense of movement in his best work is palpable.
Bleach was awesome from the beginning, but as the Soul Society arc picks up speed it's only getting better. Hollows are nothing compared to the challenges Ichigo has already faced and the new opponents (Madarame Ikkaku) he fights in this volume...to say nothing of the foes who lie ahead. Moreover, despite introducing a wealth of fascinating new characters, Tite Kubo still finds time to depict the continuing growth of our favorites Orihime, Ishida, and Chad, and Rukia's own history is slowly revealing itself.
All in all, Viz is doing quite a good job with its American editions, but I suppose I've been spoiled by reading Del Rey. The lack of honorifics is disorienting, and there are a few cases where attempts to make the Japanese more easily understandable come dangerously close to destroying the meaning (in particular, Ikkaku's comments about he and Ichigo's names). Moreover, I want my color pages! And would it kill Viz to print the title on the front cover? It's in English in the Japanese...But, all that being said, it is nice that Viz translates the sound effects, which are almost impossible to pick up unless one can ask a native speaker.
Really, what are you waiting for? It's awesome. Run, don't walk.
Soul Cannon November 12, 2006
If Ichigo and the rest are to survive their way past the barrier to the Soul Society, he must first learn to control his massive spiritual energy into a shield to punch through it.
More of the Soul Society is introduced, giving some idea of how things are run in there.
The battles are few, but excellent. And the rest is far from boring.

Tite Kubo, Bleach: Tattoo on the Sky (ViZ, 2001)
So how will the crew get into the walled city where Rukia is being held? By being shot out of a cannon, of course! But that doesn't mean all their problems are solved-- far from it, as what waits for them on the other side of the wall makes the battles they've had before look like a walk in the park. Another fine entry in the series, which is well worth your time-- if you're not a Bleach fan yet, pick up the first issue and become one. ****
