I love the cover of 48th volume of Bleach~ And I enjoyed new chapter as well! The story seems to have become darker somehow, maybe what happened to Ishida gave me such impression... Anyway I'm surprised that there really is minimum action in at least two chapters where I had expected it to be! However, I don't really mind ^^ Btw, I have some hopes about that guy who appeared in this chapter he reminds me of Stark >.<
New Naruto begins in the worst disappointing way, lol. So much ado about nothing! Such great technique ruined so easily! But well, the rest wasn't so bad, nice chapter, all in all ^_^
