Tite Kubo, Bleach: Quincy Archer Hates You (ViZ, 2001)
I spent the first hundred ninety-eight pages of the fourth volume of Bleach wondering who on Earth Quincy Archer was, then found out I'd been taken for quite a ride. I'm not sure if it's a spoiler to say why, so I'll omit it for the moment. (I'm sure I'll get 'round to it in my review for Book 5, so be on the lookout.) In any case, the title character doesn't make anything more than peripheral appearances until the last chapter, so it's not worth worrying about the title when you dive into this.
The meditative atmosphere of the third book recedes into the background, and we get back to heavy action. The big sensation on Japanese TV these days is Don Kanonji, an exorcist who travels to various haunted locations and gets rid of ghosts. This week, he's headed for Karakura-- in fact, an abandoned hospital near Ichigo's neighborhood. Ichigo and Rukia quickly find out that the hospital is, in fact, haunted, and that Kanonji's meddling may end up making things worse.
Quincy Archer Hates You gives us the welcome return of Chad, though he's a spectator for much of the book, and introduces a subplot regarding Rukia's pager (how she and Ichigo find out about hollows that need destroyed) being on the fritz, but this book concentrates more than the others in the series to date on its main story, which is action- and humor-packed enough for Bleach fans one and all. Good stuff. *** ?
Summary of Bleach, Volume 4
Hot-tempered 15-year-old Ichigo Kurosaki, the hero of the popular fantasy-adventure Bleach, has the unsettling ability to see spirits who are unable to rest in peace. His sixth sense leads him to Rukia, a Soul Reaper who destroys Hollows (soul-devouring monsters) and ensures the deceased find repose with the Soul Society. When she's injured in battle, Rukia transfers her sword and much of her power to Ichigo, whose spiritual energy makes him a formidable substitute Soul Reaper. But the orange-haired teenager isn't sure he wants the job: too many risks and moral dilemmas.Comics & Graphic Novels Books
