Where to Start the Manga?

[Kangaroo Rat]

Alright, I'm beginning to slightly enjoy the Bounto arc, but it's just not quite enough. I want to start reading the Manga, but I'm too lazy to start from the beginning and read through the stuff that I already know. So which volume marks the split of the Manga and Anime?

^ Chapter 179 is where everyone is being healed up after the big battle is the Soul Society, so you might wanna start there so you don't miss anything. By 181, everyone is heading back to the real world...and there starts you anime/manga differences. You still have a lot to read though. Chapter 247 was just released. Happy reading :D
