I really liked it. It added a lot of smaller slice-of-life details to the days after the Soul Society arc. Bleach has so much action and bravado that it can come off as a little shallow, with so many characters fighting who have not much characterization. So this is a good piece of that much needed slice-of-life focus. Really sweet and cute.
I immediately read this book after the light novel, mainly because I saw how short it was, but also because I was left a bit wanting of an original story after the last one. This one I understood a lot more from and the vast majority of it was baking and relaxing with little in the way of plot so I learnt some handy descriptive and more colloquial phrases without having to worry about any subject-specific terminology.
THIS WAS SO GOOD 😭😭 I absolutely love Byakuya's and Rukia's development to death. It was refreshing to read about the fluffy moments from all the divisions and the little short stories after all the fighting in the Soul Society. Bleach will always have a special place in my heart😌🫡
