Tite Kubo has finally put the final dot to the "Bleach" manga series. However, recent reports suggest that the series will be revived through a new set of novels. It is further stated that the novels will put Rukia Kuchiki in the spotlight, instead of picking up on Ichigo Kurosaki's story.
According to the new reports, the upcoming "Bleach" novels will be helmed by Ryohgo Narita and Makoto Matsubara, who are both popular artists. Matsubara is a veteran in the "Bleach" franchise, having been a member of the development team for several books such as "Bleach: The Death Save the Strawberry" and "Bleach: Letters from the Other Side."
It is said that one of the new "Bleach" novels will particularly revolve around the romantic life of Rukia Kuchiki and Renji Abarai. The two will tie the knot in "Bleach: WE DO knot ALWAYS LOVE YOU." The said story will start shipping December 27 as the book by Ryohgo Narita will come at a later date.
Rukia Kuchiki's romantic life was one of the highlights of the "Bleach" series. Some fans were left quite confused with Rukia as she seemed to show romantic feelings for both Ichigo Kurosaki and Renji Abarai. With the confirmation that Rukia and Renji will be married, fans who love the two characters can be at peace.
Anime News Network reveals more details about the upcoming "Bleach" novels. The outlet says Ryohgo Narita's novel will focus on Shuhei Hisagi and the mystery of Kaname Tosen. The novel is also expected to unveil more bits about the four families which are made up of noble clans. These include the Fullbringers and the Arrancar clan.
The "Bleach" novel that Ryohgo Narita is working on will be released sometime 2017. It has yet to be revealed if there will be succeeding novels after Narita and Makoto Matsubara's books are unleashed. On the other hand, many fans believe that additional material will be announced for "Bleach" soon.
Other "Bleach" news suggest that the manga may be revived by Tite Kubo sometime in the near future. Stay tuned for more updates on the upcoming "Bleach" novels!
