I'm fascinated with the popularity with Manga. I bought these random Bleach figures for my friend, and went back two weeks later, and they were SOLD OUT! I can't believe it. This is a great story. It's about this girl who helps this boy slay bad ghosts. I was so fascinated with the reviews of this line, that I bought and read 3 volumes. They're great. They touch controversial issues (e.g. genetic engineering and abortion), and translate them abstractly enough for kids to understand the basic morals.

Not to mention that I spent 40 minutes shaking each box to get Rukia. My friend received a male character. She doesn't know the story yet.
