Bleach: Omnibus #17

by Tite Kubo

Part-time student, full-time Soul Reaper, Ichigo is one of the chosen few guardians of the afterlife.

Ichigo Kurosaki never asked for the ability to see ghosts—he was born with the gift. When his family is attacked by a Hollow—a malevolent lost soul—Ichigo becomes a Soul Reaper, dedicating his life to protecting the innocent and helping the tortured spirits themselves find peace. Find out why Tite Kubo’s Bleach has become an international manga smash-hit!

The war with Aizen is finally over, but the aftermath is just beginning. Ichigo lost his Soul Reaper powers in the last battle, and he now must try to live the quiet life of an ordinary mortal. But his attempts at being average are interrupted by a mysterious man who claims he can help Ichigo regain his powers. Who is this stranger, and what are his real motives…?

I am unconvinced by this introduction of the new Full-Bring powers. I also find it rather tiresome that Ichigo is once again mastering things at a rate that is totally unbelievable.

[✨Rebel Fairy Hiatus · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is not my favourite arc - somehow I felt this was a joke.

Ichigo is living in the aftermath of the final battle against Aizen - he is trying everything to get his powers back.

A group called Fullbringer - conveniently they want to help Ichigo. . .

Let's see what happens before the thousand year blood war.

Ehhh, the Fullbring arc is okay. I think the power system is cool, and kinda wish it had been more devolved like this in the pre-soul society arc cause Tatsuki probably could be relevant then. But regardless, still a fun series, this arc just doesn’t live up to the previous one.

The Lost Agent Arc begins! Ichigo Kurosaki has lose his Soul Reaper powers and it isn't the same. Now, a high-school student where its been months since Sosuke Aizen has been apprehended, Ichigo continues his life as a normal teenager... only when he encounters Kugo Ginjo, a mysterious man that may able to help Ichigo to gain back his Soul Reaper powers. But there is another treat - one that may have an intention to kill Ichigo. This new arc has a slow start, a slow burn and even a drag at times. I didn't quite get what was the purpose except this arc feels plain boring. The artwork is refine and sleek but the story on the other hand just feels boring.

Even though there are some kind of important events taking place during these three volumes, the stakes - at present - are not THAT high, so it feels more like a necessity than to pace the story overall.

Some characters seem to be pretty much the same as they always are: same reactions to events, and there some new maybe friends, maybe not?

Not very thrilling, but a nice read nevertheless.

perhaps one of the most uninteresting filler arcs i have ever read in my life, if you wanted 'friendship overrules all' these 6 volumes are essentially it in a nutshell- it was interesting to see ichigo being weak for once so that was a nice change in pace for the manga

i’m getting close to where i quit reading weekly, and it’s easy to remember why. it’s fun focusing on the ichigo-orihime-chad-uryu quartet again, but this storyline and the fullbringer characters aren’t nearly interesting enough to justify this number of chapters.

First time I have given Bleach anything this low. It was ok but I feel like we’ve seen it all before. A new power Ichigo has to master really quickly and a pretty BBEG who doesn’t look all that. However, my son has read on and said it gets better so we continue…

[Kurtis Burkhardt · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not the biggest fan of this full bring arc, seems a waste of 6ish volumes 😂👌❤️

[Lucinda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Poor Ichigo if it's not one megalomaniac it's another.

[babybutterfly303 · Rating 5 out of 5]

the best ever

[Rodri · Rating 3 out of 5]

3/5: this feels like a different story idek
not sure I like it yet

[Vera Papp · Rating 3 out of 5]

The overall idea is interesting and rather silly however the structure wasn't well done this time. A less linear and more tense structure had suited better to this arc in my opinion

[Franny · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5

[Tracy Mirkin · Rating 2 out of 5]

it's no fishman island

[Kat · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh...this is how we're continuing the series...alright then.

[Pankachu102 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Volume 17 of Bleach 3-in-1 edition (49, 50, 51). With Lord Sôsuke Aizen defeated and Ichigo powerless for the last 17 months, a new power and new enemies come for him.

This book contains the following fights:

- Riruka Dokugamine (F) versus Ichigo Kurosaki
- Jackie Tristan (F) versus Ichigo Kurosaki
- Shukuro Tsukishima (F) versus Ichigo Kurosaki and Kugo Ginjo
- Kugo Ginjo (F) versus Ichigo Kurosaki

[Andy · Rating 2 out of 5]

We start a new era with our heroes, one without hollows and soul reapers. The volume suffers from it, but we also get to experience the normalcy we had in the early days of the series when it was all about our group of humans and the mundanity of simply going to school and training to get stronger. I missed that, but the new characters and villains are not as interesting to me as the soul society and its captains were.

[Holly Letson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read as individual volumes.
