REVIEW:
I have two books out of the manga from Bleach but this one is my favorite so far. It's the most funny and most informative of the two i have.

The Bootleg has small colored stories (which have been used as the small clips at the end of Bleach anime's episodes) which are extremely funny. Especially the ones featuring small Yachiru running around at Byakuya's house!

It also has detailed info for all division and theirs captains. From thins they like, to ranking and power stats which is really cool to see where the characters are strong and where not. Of course this is before the whole Arrancar incident at the manga, which means there is a lot of information missing for the Bankai's or things we see later at the manga. Still, you get a pretty good idea who is the strongest and how they think.

And of course at the end there is the Divisions magazine, where captains and vice captains talk about what they expect from you by joining their division, personal comments, a quiz to see how good you know Bleach and at the end a test to see in which Division you should apply. I got Gin's division with the pranksters :P

In general is a good and funny addition for those who love the manga and are interested in the back story and to take a little more of the story with them.
