It was surprising how far Kubo has gone since starting out in this manga. Between the first chapter and the last, the improvements of the drawings were incredible. One thing Bleach was very famous for was the artwork. And when something awesome happened, the pace moved quickly, almost as if someone was embarrassed about a performance and needed to get off the stage. Unnecessary events slowed the pace exponentially. The symbolism used, like the Hell Butterfly, weren’t explained as fully as I wanted it to be. Although it was suspenseful and I found myself excited about what would happen next, I would often find myself disappointed in the result. I found myself getting lost during the mess of the arcs following after the Soul Society. The way it was shaped was anti-climactic and it was very, very unorganized. It’s filled with plot holes and unanswered questions that probably will never get answered. Bleach’s plot isn’t the best plot out there. Easter eggs are a bonus and can lead to mysteries in future chapters. Pay attention to detail closely in the words spoken, the plot can be easily lost. Expect the unexpected or nobody will figure out what will happen. Like the stairway to heaven to introduce what will happen in the coming chapters. Every word, every panel of this arc is crucial. The many characters introduced help shape this manga and create the new world it was made to be in. The only way to read this is to think about it being opposite day. Surprises and twists make the plot shake. The next arc is what made Bleach what it is. However, things change, and it was this that made Bleach become over the top famous. Over that period, the scenes and chapters just repeat itself. It shaped itself in the first few chapters as a typical run of the mill high school themed manga with the characters having special powers. Taking place in modern Japan and broken into five major arcs, Bleach is unique between the “Big 3” and Shounen itself. People think there is nothing after life, but they are wrong. Romances bloom like a soft flower petal in the spring. Invisible forces play into the scenes, grasping a hold of reality and raining out a massive event that not even humans can comprehend. Like a flutter of a butterfly’s wing, Kubo has created the dynamic of a life after death scenario, twisting people’s minds and imaginations throughout its journey with surprises, questions, and a bold statement of what happens after we leave this world.
