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.

This Bleach volume, entitled Quincy Archer Hates You, is the fourth installment in Tite Kubo's ever-popular series Bleach, and it once again delivers. The title is a bit misleading however as we do not meet "Quincy Archer" until the very end of the book.

Bleach #4 begins with a short but comical chapter about mod-soul-turned-stuffed-animal Kon. Kubo then moves on to the main story. The popular new reality show "Spontaneous Trips to Spiritual Hotspots", hosted by the eccentric and egotistic Don Kanonji, is coming to Karakura town, and everyone's excited; that is everyone except our moody Soul Reaper/Shinigami protaganist Ichigo. However after being dragged along to the show, being filmed at an abandoned Hospital, Ichigo and Rukia find that their in for a lot more than just a kooky T.V. show...

Overall this book was just as good as the past three releases, taking the series back to a somewhat lighthearted state after the darker book #3. It has a good ammount of comedy, action and character development and sets up the next two books.

If your already reading Bleach, you'll enjoy this next release, if not, buy book #1 now.
