Yeah, there's no need, Japanese children are talking care of it. Bleach has been in last place in the weekly polls for ages. The only things that score lower are brand new series that flop out of the gate.

it is just a dumb harem romcom. the only reason anyone should have strong feelings about it is if they were somehow dim enough to have high expectations for a dumb harem romcom.

To be fair. Nisekoi is pretty much one of the best harem romcoms currently. Granted that bar is set so very VERY low...
But at least the mangaka tries to make jokes other than fetish of the week fanservice poo poo like 99.9% of the harem shows out there.

Now I have the false hope that Bleach might also also go so far down that the only direction left is up again. You monster.

The One True Oden

Nisekoi's worst crime is dragging things out too long. It should have ended like 50 chapters ago but he just keeps repeating plotlines and literally having the protagonist be asleep when people confess to him.

It's great when it's trying to be funny, and has hardly any fanservice. That puts it above most romance manga.

It speaks volumes about how lovely Bleach has gotten if we talk about harem series instead of the protagonist of the series squaring off against the final boss during the final arc of the series.

There is just nothing to discuss here... So how about that Raku eh? He sure is dense!

Bleach is almost a harem manga as well at this point. Ichigo has inexplicably managed to make it so Rukia, Orihime, Riruka and Nel be totally into him.

Well, Nel is probably just attracted to his insane spiriton levels but the rest are inexplicable.

Get with Tatsuki already Orihime.

I wish I could use Tsukishima's power and forget about Bleach.

But it's grip on me is too powerful.

Not even he could make me completely forget.

There's no way bleach is good by any stretch but I don't know what manga you're all reading if you honestly think it's that bad.

One Piece is sort of a given but Hunter x Hunter is back for a little while, Toriko's staying strong into its finale and My Hero Academia is amazing from end to end.

Bleach is easily one of the worst shounen manga out there. Its panels are half empty white space, its character designs are comically similar, its fights are lifeless, its dialogue is limp, its pacing makes glaciers weep. There's really nothing it does well and the only reason I still "read" it is because a chapter takes all of two minutes to click through.

e: Sengoku Youko finished the other day as well and it was adorable.

Remember when he made Mengele-kun a whacky dude? Having funny scenese with the guy whose people he tortured to death? Kubo's sense of humor is rather special.

Academia is the only thing in Jump right now I actually enjoy reading consistently, but I'm not gonna sit here and act like I'm wasting my time reading Bleach and then be ironic about it. It's loving stupid, but it's really hard for me to be like "YO THIS poo poo IS THE WORST HUH" unless something as stupidly beautiful as Adult Hitsugaya happens again.

"I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"
The worst shounen battle manga are the ones that are quietly canceled after two or three volumes and never translated into English, by fans or otherwise.

I still maintain that the worst manga I ever read was a one volume wonder where the protagonist was a Buddhist monk/spirit/something who had sworn an oath of nonviolence and every single chapter ended with him grimly saying "I'm breaking my oath just this once!" and messily murdering the poo poo out of the villain of the chapter

So rurouni kenshin with bad impulse control? It's a shame they screwed that up, that sounds like something I'd read if it was done well.

I would prefer a really crappy 1-3 volume manga over a slightly less crappy one that refuses to die.

I haven't read bleach in months. Is it any good yet? I know my avatar is hollow ichigo, cause I joined the forums when bleach was still "good." The fullbringer arc really ruined it for me. I stayed tuned for a little bit of the 1000 blood year arc til uryuu and ichigo met haschiwaizen.
