Volume 46 Cover

Most of you won't care but I'm glad to see Rangiku get her own cover, finally.

I am excited to see what the volume poem is.

On a side note, many people are viewing this cover as a possible tribute to Rangiku.

I'm guessing Isshin will get his own cover later on.

I'm all for Rangiku getting a cover, but this really should have been Isshin. I'm going to guess that Rangiku's actions now will have repercussions on the rest of the story. I doubt that she's dead though, what with shinigami being the cockroaches of the afterlife an all.

I'm expecting a suitably angsty poem for her.

back from blind? totally about gin 'seeing the light' and turning on aizen, so i understand why rangiku gets the limelight this time round.

Well here is Rangiku's poem.

不幸を知ることは怖ろしくはない,
怖ろしいのは過ぎ去った幸福が戻らぬと知ること.

It is not terrifying to know sorrow.
Terrifying is to know you can't go back to happiness you could have.
