Haven't read whole comic (actually been watching the anime). Love the series though. Follow it enough to know that when the anime departs from the OC it fails to deliver the same sense of character depth (at least, in my opinion). After Clamp broke my heart with Legal Drug I swore I'd wait for finished product but since Bleach is... I guess I have no excuse:) Soifon is definitely subby toward Yoruichi. Also seems like Ichigo is towards Rukia too. Ironically one year my best friend, little sister and I were gonna cosplay Yoruichi, Soifon, and Kukaku Shiba (respectively) but a pretty horrible car crash prevented me from sewing. Did manage to put together a pretty sweet Arisa red butterfly jacket by cutting strips from colored electrical tape though (was good physical therapy too). Still have all the materials for Kukaku and am planning to have it finished for this years con. Wow, too much information probably. Thanks for making my longing to get further in to the Bleach series even more intense. "Now I feel like number one!" :)
