I agree that Book of the End is more exciting than I would have expected. But am I the only one who thinks that messing with perception/memory resembles Aizen´s Complete Hypnosis? Obviously powerful, but a bit unoriginal. Well, you might argue that Aizen´s shikai could not affect feelings, but it is still some kind of hypnosis, just on another level. And the guy appearing behind Orihime´s back and stabbing her from behind also reminded me of Aizen´s fighting style, so I can´t help seeing some similarities.

You are right, on page 3 Sado and Ichigo don´t look overly worried, maybe a bit sweat would have helped. But on the other pages they show more emotion. Overall the chapter was mediocre. Orihime getting stabbed but not wounded was a nice twist, but otherwise not much happened. Oh, and thank god that Orihime was not kidnapped again - but if she is kind of contaminated by Book of the End it might turn out to be a rescue arc after all.
