Tite Kubo’s comment on Bleach 20th anniversary

Weekly Shonen Jump posted on their official Twitter account some statemen from Kubo. Tite Kubo did not plan on serializing Burn The Witch. He said he thought everyone forgot about Burn The Witch since it has been so long since it was released.

Kubo showed Burn The Witch to an intimate audience, which includes only his family and close friends. As a result, his editor saw Kubo’s work and encouraged him to serialize and animate it. Tite Kubo will now be working on the Burn The Witch manga and anime designs.

Kubo also shared that the Burn The Witch will be a short-term serialization. In fact, he already finished the manuscript and added that by the time we read the series, he will be playing Animal Crossing game.

The announcement of animating the Thousand-Year Blood War as part of the Bleach 20th anniversary project was also a surprise for him. Needless to say, Kubo and countless fans are excited about this announcement.
