相羽憲介 of Keios is a staff
member on the
Bleach anime. Notably, he did the storyboards for anime episodes 101 and 109.
The art in his
Bleach books are usually sketchy (i.e., rough, not finalized), similar to what
you might expect to find in some copybooks. The stories tend to focus on Ichigo, Rukia, and Renji.

Pages: 26 (not including covers)
Description: Contains sketches of Renji, Ichigo and Grimmjow, and Nel. There's a short gag
story with the anime mod-souls, Kon, and Renji shouting out super sentai colors. (Poor Renji.)
There's also a serious story that takes place right after Rukia's battle with Aaroniero. As she
passes out on the ground, Rukia has a dream about Ichigo; the story is bittersweet with Ichigo x
Rukia undertones.
