Yes, it's the density of the art in SDK that tends to get me lost. I'm usually more attuned to story and dialogue, but I'm finding that in terms of art, my favorite manga are those that use empty space effectively. Kamijyo's faces are expressive, but they're generally not the only thing in the frame as they might be in Bleach or Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle. Kamijyo packs so much into a given frame that I sometimes have trouble figuring out what should be the dominant image.
That's an interesting comment about kimonos assuming a less boobtastic figure. It just started me thinking about traditional European dress of various countries (I'm having a vision of the German barmaid dress), and so many of them are meant to emphasize the breasts. The only western fashions I can think of that deliberately flattened the figure are the flapper era dresses and 60s Twiggy baby doll dresses.
Yes, Ukitake is the sickly one with white hair. I really like him too. He comes across as a really kind person. As for Byakuya, he would consider emo and angst to be unfitting of a man in his position. :-)
