More Fanservice. Oh, and very interesting and useful plot.
Customer Rating:
Rather than give a synopsis of the plot (read the book, darn it), I'm going to just say that this is an awesome turning point in the plot, and that you should definitely read it. Read all the other ones too. :)
Also, Ulquiorra (the character on the cover) is a welcome addition to the cast of Bleach characters. Not only is he sexy, he is also very coldhearted and evil. Let the mass of fangirls begin squeeing.
But anyway, this volume is set at the start of the next story arc, and is therefore very important to the series. A lot happens, and it is an enjoyable and fast-paced read, with drama, action, angst, and humor. The fanservice is just a plus. :) Tite Kubo is very good about giving us fans service. So let's give him the service of buying his books.
Bleach is Best.

Tite Kubo, Bleach: Conquistadores (ViZ, 2001)
You knew Kubo wasn't going to be able to keep the characters from the Soul Society out of the real world, didn't you? After the cascade of revelations in the last volume, Ichigo and company get a clearer picture of what's going on with the Arrancars, and what they're going to need to do to fight them. Setup volume, but a good one for all that. ****
The Arrancar invasion continues
Customer Rating:
Volume 21 concluded with a revelation about Isshin Kurosaki and Ichigo's refusal the join the Vizards. This volume, Shinji continues to try and recruit Ichigo and another Vizard, Hiyori is introduced.
A short time later, two very powerful Arrancars arrive in Karakura town. They kill dozens of bystanders and brutally beat-up Chad and Orihime. Ichigo arrives and initial does well, until his inner hollow interferes. The Arrancar leave determining Ichigo is not even worth killing. The volume concludes with the Soul Society sends reinforcements to handle the arrancar invasion.
The Arrancar arc is proceding along smoothly with big new developments for both Ichigo and the enemies he's facing, both externally and internally. Yammy and Ulquiorra's entrance was a great tribute to the Saiyans' coming to Earth from Dragon Ball Z. The battle that followed nicely showcased the new enemy's power. Overall, a very good installment of the series.
On a minor note, when these chapters ran in Viz's Shonen Jump magazine they censored a few panels (a scene between the two Vizards and they toned down Matsumoto's cleavage). There went back and uncensored them for the graphic novel release, except they forgot to do so for one panel in the last chapter of the book. It's not a big deal, but hopefully, in later printings they will fix this mistake.
