The more volumes I read, the better the story gets! Now that Ichigo knows it was a Hollow that took his mother's life, he has a reason to stay a Soul Reaper, though it's a sad reason. He has gained more purpose, and wants to get stronger, which will be great for the rest of the story! (

Bleach Vol 3 takes Ichigo to the cemetery for the anniversary of his mothers death. If he's gonna find a hollow anywhere, my guess is it will be at the cemetery!

The Bad Stuff: I really struggle with finding the bad stuff in this series, so I'm just gonna skip this bit.

The Good Stuff: More Manga, how good is that! Tite does it again, but the plot thickens in this volume as Ichigo meets the Hollow that could have killed his mother. Another hilarious instalment, the teddy bear cracks me up.

Vol 3 moves the series forward revealing more about Ichigo and his abilities, 2 down and 18 volumes to go. Another 4 out of 5 Golden bookmarks for this installment.

Enjoyed this one far more, now that there's more backstory to Ichigo. (

This just gets better each chapter. I loved the fight in this one. It held the promise of more and I was so happy with it.

We now know about Ichigo's past of how his mom died and I am so happy. (
