New Bleach is at least fun and interesting, seeing everyone again, some new faces, etc.
Some irritation at the 'He's deaf but he can read lips so he understands everything we say' crap. -_- Not...limited to this story, of course; happens a lot in fiction. Man, if one is going to write BS about deafness, probably best to just not write about deaf/Deaf people.
But generally, okay, curious to see where this goes.
