Title: In which we get to know Chad. Hurrah!
Review: Tite Kubo, Bleach: Right Arm of the Giant (ViZ, 2002)In which we discover that Ichigo is not the only member of this loosely-allied group that has superpowers. As the cover of the book lets you know in no uncertain terms, the enigmatic Chad, who was previously seen as someone who had no supernatural abilities whatsoever (remember how he had to be told where to punch in his first battle with a hollow?), may actually be far more important to everyone's safety than we thought. Meanwhile, Uryu challenges Ichigo to a test to see which group, the Quincies or the Soul Reapers, is more efficient at dispatching hollows. Ichigo accepts, with dire consequences (but sets up a multi-book story arc, so there you go). Chad's my favorite character in the series, so I loved this; I can see why some folks who have given it not-so-good reviews might not think there's enough going on in this one, though. ****
