THE MONSTER WITHIN US ICHIHIME SERIES
Orihime is someone who's been protected all her life-first by her brother, then by Tatsuki, and finally, more and more as the series goes on, by Ichigo. Her spacing out can get her in real trouble, even getting her hit by a car at one point, but her daydreams and flights of fancy are far better than many other ways she could have dealt with her past. She's not completely out of it, and she can function all right, but.she's really not entirely sane, either. Instead of either brushing it all off or being crushed under its weight, Orihime has built herself a fantastical mindset, so that she views reality through a slightly skewed lens. In Orihime's case, what saves her from that fate is the fact that her tragic past (naturally she has one!) has changed her in an unconventional way. Such characters often tread the line of Mary Sue if not properly fleshed out. This is not an uncommon character type in anime, manga, and even Japanese video games-the sweet, lovable girl who may seem ditzy but turns out to be smart, often with some romantic connection to the hero. She's pretty and sweet and cute in everything she does. She's immediately characterized as cute and spacy, prone to zoning out. Orihime is introduced in the second chapter, along with her best friend, Tatsuki. As if the quest to save Rukia from execution wasn't enough, Ichigo's powers have awakened a hidden demon inside him-and it can only get crazier from there. It is this need that being a shinigami satisfies for him. At first, he convinces himself that he only wants to protect his family, but it turns out that the need goes much deeper than that. Oh, and since his mother died protecting him from a Hollow six years ago, he's had a desperate, driving need to protect everybody. Ichigo seems fairly normal, but only at first. Yes, she is) grants him her powers in order to save his family from a Hollow-and things fail to go back to normal afterwards. He becomes a shinigami when Rukia (the female lead. He's a teenage boy with ridiculous amounts of power buried within him-standard fare for a shounen series, really. We're mostly concerned with him, and with a girl named Orihime. Here's the basic premise: there are two worlds, Earth and Soul Society, and grim reaper-like individuals called shinigami mediate the flow of souls between the two. It's one of the big popular titles these days, but don't let that fool you-it's actually rather complex. Except maybe Allen/Rinali.īleach is a shounen manga by Kubotite. D: I am never doing a main pairing here again. Notes: Um, I sort of went over the wordlimit here. Spoilers: For the entire manga to date (chapter 1 to 236).
