Bleach Volume 39: El Verdugo

I'm seriously considering dropping Bleach.  I read it because I found Ichigo to be an interesting character.  He hasn't really been in it for pages and pages.  It's one long fight after another interspersed with the leveling up techniques.  I expect more.

Naruto Volume 47: The Seal is Destroyed

Epic battle.  Really well built up through the preceding pages and then the huge payoff.  It might have just been a big fight scene but it was rewarding.

Naruto Volume 46: Naruto Returns

Naruto gets a pretty epic re-entrance in this volume.  It's hard to imagine that he'd get here when looking at where he came from.  Things are really building up.  Not good that Kakashi is having a heart to heart with his dead father.  I don't want this to be the end of that character.

Rosario + Vampire Season 11 Volume 8

That's a lot of back story to explain why Moka has the rosario.  Neat story but i felt it really took away from the action of what Ikeda is trying to create.  Most of the main characters have been lying on the floor while the mob forms at the door.

Black Butler Volume IX

Reading this reminded me too much of the movie Clue.  I kept expecting a fast forward run down of what had happened.  I don't believe Sebastian's dead though.  He seems harder to kill than that.

Death Note Volume 2

In the first book I could feel some empathy for Light.  He's just doing this to rid the world of evil.  I get where he's coming from even though I didn't agree with how he was doing it.  Here, he starts to attack those that would stop him and he becomes more villainous.  He's still very ingenious and that's why it's hard to put down.
