Bleach Vol.8
Story and Art by Tite Kubo
The Blade and Me
Ichigo knows that to retrieve Rukia from the Soul Society, he`ll have to enter that world himself. But his fight with Rukia`s brother Byakuya showed, in no uncertain terms, that Ichigo still has a great deal of rigorous study and training ahead of him. Deep beneath Kisuke`s Urahara Shoten, Ichigo practices his fighting and hones his spiritual energies, and now he must face the most daunting challenge of all: prevent his Chain of Fate from consuming itself, or be forever transformed into a soul-devouring Hollow!
