Oh God, is this an emotional rollercoaster of a chapter.....you don't even have to have the english.

Rukia - I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T LET ME DOWN GIRL.....from the summary the other day, they made it look like she barely reacted but in the line art, whoosh, did she react. Yelling at her captain and then the ANGST!  small Ichi/Ruki angsty moment at end.......huzzah!

Byakuya - looking as good as ever, even if you made Rukia leave (bad nii-san!) can you say "fanservice"
Ukitake - angsting suitably as usual, but looking soooo verrrry, frickin, HOT.
Yama-ji - a great big jackass in this chapter.

Ichigo - is heart breaking, he did the predictable yelling, but after he is left alone, the two panels after was just guh.
But WTF is with the look between Renji/Ichigo, the yaoi fangirl in me was squeeing! XXDD!!

THE OMAKE RULES THE WORLD!
BLEACH AT THE BEACH
Rangiku and Orihime molesting each other, Byakuya and Rukia moments, Ikkaku gets a crab up his ass and many more....

Kubo-sensei you win this round......just make sure you keep it up. (puts away voodoo dolls and brass knuckles, for now, ;3)
