Bleach Manga to Enter Final Arc

• BobYoMeowMeow wrote on 2012-02-02 04:50

  This year's 10th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is announcing on Monday that Tite Kubo's Bleach manga is entering its final story arc. Kubo has been drawing the manga in the magazine since 2001, and Shueisha published the 53rd compiled book volume of the manga in December.
  
  Thanks to its "Shonen Jump Digital Warp" program, Viz Media just released the 53rd volume in electronic book form in North America last month. The Digital Warp program prepared the way for this week's launch of Viz's English-language digital anthology Shonen Jump Alpha, which is running chapters of Bleach and five other titles two weeks after their print debut in Japan's Weekly Shonen Jump. Viz will release the print version of the 38th volume next week.

  Shonen Jump deciding to pull the plug on Bleach obviously
  Bleach has SO much to explain especially with the last arc

  Haha, just read this on the site before it was posted here. Didn't expect Kubo to be ending Bleach.

  Its called bleach because he bleached out all the panels.
  
  You didn't miss anything. Nothing happens.
  
  Kubo is every publisher's hero though. He saves them so much ink.

  The ending is:
  
  IT WAS ALL JUST A DREAM.
  
  When Ichigo wakes up, Bleach 2 happens :P

  Finally.
  I gave up on this years ago.

  Last page is likely going to be nothing the a trollface, considering that Kubo has done nothing but troll people pretty much the entire time it's been running (probably save for before the Soul Society arc). Probably going to be sitting on Aizen's body as well, just for the hell of it.

  What took so long?

  While a good part of me wants to leave it "good riddance!" I also know that Bleach, being one the the Big 3 in Japan, does comprise a not insignificant part of the anime and manga industry. When it does end, how will that void be filled?

  More fanservice animoo.

  I can see this going on for 10 years now, assuming he follows his plan.

  So, when is Naruto going to stop?
• Jana wrote on 2012-02-02 09:14
  I guess, there is still animu to be had. :P
  
  I do wonder what Jump will be using in its place every week though, unless they'll just kind of shift more focus onto Naruto and One Piece. :\

  not at all
  Shonen Jump is cutting off Kubo Tite by allowing him to end the manga early
  they do this with every manga they don't want to keep
