Since | moved here last

year, my landlord next door

for me. The food's great

bad because I've never

ЈАМА Rukia Kuchiki

Ichigo Kurosaki

и
Fifteen-year-old Ichigo “Strawberry” Kurosaki can see ghosts.
Otherwise, he was a typical (?) high school student until the day a
Hollow—a malevolent lost soul—came to eat him, and the Soul
Reaper Rukia Kuchiki stepped into his life.То defeat the Hollow and
save his family, Ichigo let Rukia transfer some of her Soul Reaper
powers to him. But when Rukia was left powerless, she recruited
Ichigo for her war against the murderous, soul-gobbling Hollows.
In mid-duel, Ichigo and Uryú Ishida, the Quincy, team up to fight
the gigantic Menos Grande. In the process, Ichigo discovers latent
power he was not aware of! In the aftermath of the battle, Rukia
decides she has lingered in this world long enough. But things take
a disturbing turn when she finds herself face to face with two
hunters from the Soul Society!!

HE'D RATHER FOR COURSE, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT KIND OF
SUFFER A LITTLE HIM RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE WITH THEM
EMBARRASSMENT ТО ACT AND THE KIND OF TEASING IT IS, BUT
OR BE HATED. NORMAL GENERALLY THE CHANCE OF A GIRL
AROUND LIKING A BOY WHO TEASES HER IS LESS
HER. THAN ONE IN A MILLION. EVEN IF YOU'RE
EMBARRASSED, THE FIRST STEP IS TO
SMILE CONFIDENTLY AND SAY HELLO.
WHEN SOMEONE WHO USUALLY TEASES
YOU APPROACHES YOU IN А NORMAL
WAY, THE EFFECT CAN BE DRAMATIC.
