I always figured that Bleach would reach really high on the top 150, maybe in time some of the volumes will break into the to 50. Since Naruto has been really high on this list, I thought that bleach would have the same popularity, maybe because it run at a later time then Naruto.

Maybe because we are now a fair bit into the soul society saga. ie, highting aginst humanoid characters instead of hollows.

How many total volumes of Bleach are out, anyway? On that note, how many of Bleach's volumes have made it into USA Today's weekly Top 150?

Bleach Volume 26 just been released in Japan a couple weeks ago. I think this is the first time Bleach crack into the top 150, even when it dominated the Manga Top 10 when Bleach aired on Adult Swim, it didn't rank in the top 150.

Bleach manga is gaining popularity now because the anime is starting to get popular here.

Also, this is a very good volume. Not only do we get four bankais in one book, the battle scenes are just one of the best Tite Kubo has done. I especially love the Renji vs Byakuya fight, it's so emotionally charged it makes the hairs on my neck stand up. Renji's resolve to save Rukia even if it costs him his life, inspiration he gets from Ichigo, and how in the end it even touches Byakuya.

Yeah, there's a lot of awesome stuff that happens in this volume. I think it is one of the best volumes in the entire series. I can't remember though. Does it have spoiler[the revealing of the fact that Aizen is not only alive, but aparently the main villain of the story? ] I can't remember if that happens at the end of this volume or start of the next.

Not yet, but it's getting close. This one ends with Byakuya arriving at Rukia's execution.
