I was briefly confused because I thought that was in reference to Orihime, then I remembered Orihime is not a character in bleach.

She didn't have it that much worse than Rukia, who was only a character for the first fifth or so.

rukia had it way better until the ending, where she suffered a fate worse than double ghost death: marrying renji

kubo will release a databook that will reveal that girl-not-Byakuya is 5'8 and 70 pounds or something. The entire cast of bleach had anorexic level weight-height ratios


then again they were also ghosts so I guess they were mostly air or something

you never have the coolest design be the main character that's just shonen 101

also the girls (well not Byakuya anyway) are pretty definitely the main characters and their designs are fine

He'll continue to release databooks, in which all of the characters slowly morph into clones of Matsumoto, because what Kubo actually wants to do with his life is draw clothes on Matsumoto.

idk what to expect from a new Tite Kubo manga, but I do still really love his art, so I may give Burn The Witch a shot if it evolves past being a one-shot

Well, since everyone's talking about it, might as well link it.

Personal review: looks nice but man the characters suck. Main dude especially. They all just seem really uncreative and by-the-numbers in a way that made my eyes glaze over. The dragon designs are genuinely fun and interesting though.

Burn The Witch feels more Zombie Powder than Bleach, which I like. I really enjoyed it. If there's more of it, I really hope it keeps the girls as the leads and the dude just tags along as the narrative everyman.

I just hope kubo learned some things and burn the witch avoids some of the pitfalls bleach fell for

You know it just occurred to me, if there's a Western branch (which apparently was said to exist since chapter 50 according to this comment), why did the European Quincies get dealt with by the Eastern branch?

On the other hand, let's talk about something else instead.

It's definitely odd that the Western Branch did nothing to help against the Quincies. Maybe they just didn't have anyone strong enough to meaningfully contribute? Or maybe they were just too busy dealing with powerful dragons at the same time? Or maybe there's no communication between the two Soul Societies?

what, don't you remember the old bleach threads where a few dumbasses were convinced that kubo had an elaborate story plotted out from the start, with numerous callbacks and hidden depth? then there was the actual bleach manga, where the writing was poo poo with a side of poo poo and a poo poo milkshake.

Personally, I wasnt convinced as much as I sincerely wanted a good end to the series, it was something I acrually enjoyed and the end was like seeing your childhood pet grow old, have all its fur fall off and die in a puddle of its own poo poo and piss.
I think around yhwach's umpteenth rear end pull everyone just checked out and started shitposting.

Kubo had a few things he wanted to happen, he's even said so. It's just that he sucked at the connecting everything in a logical or satisfying matter.

It was five minutes a week to read a chapter, ten if my internet was buggy. After a while I was just curious to see how bad it could get.

Man the art is really rough overall. Like Togashi-scribbles in areas which is supposed to come off as a stylistic choice but instead look like poo poo

I kinda assumed the rougher art was a wise stylistic choice by the mangaka to avoid dying after the true Demon's Souls of being syndicated in Weekly Shonen Jump began but instead I think it may just be that this dude is just kinda not up to the now pretty ridiculous standards of most of his contemporaries in the magazine.

It IS unfair to compare him to the rest of the magazine though. Like, telling anyone to come in and compete with TOSH, Horikoshi, Boichi, Demizu Posuka, or actually Hinomaru's mangaka at times is ridiculous.
