Review:
For reasons that really don't matter at this junction, Ichigo is next in line to be king of Soul Society (just go with it). As part of his coronation, he has to get courted by a representative of each of the four noble families and then marry one. Guess who the Kuchiki family is putting forth as a potential bride. (Hint: Ichigo likes to call her 'midget'.)
This is a whole barrel of fun. It's a bit silly at times and there's enough cheese for a whole boatload of sandwiches, but Ichigo and Rukia are cute, the representatives are entertaining, the 'courting' done by the two non-Rukia canon characters is hilarious (and only has a small potential for fatalities), the evil OC isn't terribly evil (and her attempts to break up Rukia and Ichigo mostly provide fodder for more cuteness), and nearly every named character in Bleach manages at least a cameo. If you're in the mood for some humor tinged with a hint of wackiness and maybe a touch of crack, this is the fic for you.
