STRAWBERRY AND THE SOUL REAPERS

Ichigo Kurisaki has always been able to see ghosts, but this ability doesn’t change his life nearly as much as his close encounter with Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper and member of the mysterious Soul Society. While fighting a Hollow, an evil spirit that preys on humans who display psychic energy, Rukia attempts to lend Ichigo some of her powers so that he can save his family; but much to her surprise, Ichigo absorbs every last drop of her energy. Now a full-fledged Soul Reaper himself, Ichigo quickly learns that the world his inhabits is one full of dangerous spirits and , along with Rukia—who is slowly regaining her powers—it’s Ichigo’s job to protect the innocent from Hollows and help the spirits themselves find peace.

This time

I’m in love.

Honestly, by the end of this book I was craving more. I wanted to know more. I wanted…more! I don’t believe I craved One Piece as quickly as this. but then I had a lot more of those to dive into, so it’s not really the same.

We meet

Ichigo ‘Strawberry’ Kurosaki:

15 years old

Hair: Oragne

Eyes: Brown

Occupation: High School Student

At 7:30pm on his way home. He beats up a group of guys because they knocked over a flower and offering to a dead girl—the girl was the one that asks for him to get them away.

He them we meet his family, and page or two later we get to meet Rukia, a Soul Reaper that isn’t sure why he can see her.

This takes us one the way he becomes what he is, and then her getting him to do her job.

The side characters are cool as well, along with the cut off to the story that just makes you want to know. It’s cool. And it’s great. And I’m in love with it.

I want more. And I’m so frazzled I can’t think of anything else to write.

--ha, it seems that this isn’t done in Japanese; his first name is Ichigo, weird.

When we continues..

Chad escapes from the Kurosaki Clinic with a parakeet in tow, but it’s no ordinary talking-bird. A powerful Hollow is after the human soul that resides inside the well-spoken parakeet, and Ichigo and company have another fight on their hands. Much to everyone’s surprise, Chad is able to hold his own against the powerful Hollow even though he can’t see it! later; Rukia does some impulse buying at a specialty shop that deals in unauthorized
Soul Reaper items, but she ends up getting much more than she bargains for: all this and more, on sale now!
