Random Bleach question

[meganbmoore]

Maybe I just forget(or maybe I just haven't read that far yet)  but do we know the story behind Renji's tattoos?  Or for that matter, how much of his body they cover?

I meant to ask in last night's post but forgot.

In other news, today I shall read the first volume of a relatively new manga called Togari, about a vagrant swordsman who spent 300 years in hell but is sent to the modern world to recapture 108 escaped demons.  It looks to be as insane, violent and unapologetic as Blade of the Immortal.  I have high expectations.

how many times Renji gets chopped up

I feel Renji and Magatsu could have a contest in this regard...

it's hilarious that we never see his legs ... soul reaper uniform tops seem to have a worse AC than the bottoms do!

i've actually noticed that this is true of most shonen action manga...apparently the lower half of clothing is far more durable in Japan...
