Volume 2 - 2nd and later printings. "Goodbye Parakeet, Good Night My Sister!" Story and art by Tite Kubo. No sooner than he checked in to the Kurosaki Clinic with a mysterious scar on his back, the muscle-bound Chad goes AWOL. Accompanying Chad is a talking parakeet imbued with the soul of a young boy named Yûichi. It doesn't take newbie Soul Reaper Ichigo Kurosaki long to surmise that a Hollow must be involved. By far the strongest spirit he's faced to date, Ichigo is about to discover that not every soul is bound for the Soul Society, especially if it's tainted with innocent blood. Later, Rukia (whose Soul Reaper powers were absorbed by Ichigo) treks to a black-market specialty store operating independent of the Soul Society's jurisdiction. With her impulse-buy resulting in unforeseen complications, Rukia better have kept her receipt. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 192 pages, B&W. NOTE: These are Japanese manga-style GNs and are meant to be read right-to-left. Cover price $7.95.
