Bleach, Vol. 43 (Volume 43): Kingdom of Hollows

With the arrival of the Visored, the tide of battle turns against the Espada. With Hachi helping Soifon deal with Barragan, Rose and Love facing off against Stark, and Lisa and Hiyori fighting alongside Hitsugaya against Harribel, things begin to look good for the Soul Reapers. Aizen himself however feels that it is almost time to take to the field himself.Volume forty-three of the 'Bleach' manga is another entertaining volume. The volume is mostly action with some very nice battles taking place above the fake Karakura, the fight between Hachi and Barragan is especially good and we also get to see some more of Stark's abilities. The volume also takes some time to give us some backstory for both Barragan and Stark, Stark's in particular is very nice and is surprisingly sweet. The volume also finishes in an interesting place, leaving things nicely for the next volume.Unfortunately many fans think that the series starts to dip in quality form here and while I do not fully agree with this I do feel the rest of this arc could have been handled better. I would still give this volume a full five stars however.

tense volume, attle between King Barragan and Hachigen is real genius!we're finally getting into the actual story again.
