Firstly, I absolutely ADORE the non-angsty Ichigo. I've forgotten how much I love his dorkiness because he hasn't been a dork at all recently! The entire way he's drawn is different. He's much rounder and softer and overall just adorable. (I looove how Kubo's style changes subtley based on the mood at the time!)

Secondly, what is it about Byakuya that just makes him awesome? I mean, really!! He just has to stand there and he's sexy. XD Then when he talks, he's even better, and then when he fights he just wins life. Ooohh, Kuchiki Byakuya, you are wonderful. lol I absoutely LOVE his expression on page 12:...

It's soooooo Byakuya. It's just brilliant. XD
Also, I just noticed... Kenpachi has no eyebrows... o_o

The Byakuya and Kenpachi interaction is sooooo entertaining. XD From the first page where they showed up together people drew up this Byakuya x Kenpachi ship and I can already see people jumping aboard. They're getting their crack-pairing fix, that's for sure. Hahaha But even for us (normal) people who simply enjoy the funny exchange of insults and what not, this chapter is so much fun.
"I almost pity your poor judgement."

Also, Byakuya would totally win in a fight against Kenpachi. Just saying. lol Kenpachi's raw power couldn't stand a chance against Byakuya's speed.

As for plot-ness, these past two chapters aren't doing much more than bridging. This chapter was far more entertaining than last one, though. Unohana is much fun what with her maternal-but-intimidating air. And then when Unohana is shocked, you *know* something is shocking. lol I'm not really liking the "I am Main Character Man so I have SUPAH HIGH POWAH LEVELZZZZ!!!" but it *is* a shounen manga... so I don't mind too terribly much.


Writing/Drawing
I finished some ByaHisa work, as you've seen. And while doodling I came up with a new idea for an Orihime-centric piece reflecting on her and her pairings (IshiHime, IchiHime, and UlquiHime). Obviously I only like two of the three, so you'll have to see how that works out. ^_~ lol Then while drawing I remembered how much I enjoy Rukia's character and figured I'd do a piece paralleling the Orihime one. It would focus on IchiRuki, RenRuki, and ByaRuki/KuchikiKyoudai. Y'know, I used to be a huuuuge RenRuki fan? That was before IchiRuki became so more more powerful, I think. Anywho, please look forward to those.
