*facepalm*
Yeah. Thats tracing alright. I'm not particularly angry, even though I read Bleach. All I hope is that they take the book off of the market, or brand it as plagiarism. Its so obvious. It is impossible to have two different works with such similar art. The comparisons set that fact in stone.

There's only one word to describe this: FAIL. dead

Oh sure, it was just a coincedence. He just happened to draw his characters way too similar to Bleach. bigrazz

It's so sad, it isn't even funny. He should get a life. no

Before it was bad... but now with all the others? I'm livid.
His copying went way way way too far for something he expects to get paid from.
It's like a slap in the face.

how embarrasing... i'm shocked. i hope no one goes out and buys his series just to see the similarities... I hope his work is pulled off the market. To plagiarize such popular series what was he thinking? I hope he doesn't get away with it... who ever saw this through out the process of its being made had to know... ridiculous...

edit: i had to add this piece of the statement by n.simmons
“My inspirations reflect the fact that certain fundamental imagery is common to all Manga. This is the nature of the medium.”
now i know that ppl are always complaining about certain mangas being too cliche etc... but 'fundamental imagery'?? mad ridiculous...

I don't even like bleach, and even I could tell the difference. Dude man, you're screwed. Then again, it's your own fault.

Yeah I saw a user on ANN said that Radical pulled it off the shelves, in fact, it's not even listed on their website anymore. I clicked on the link provided, and it disappeared.
I hope he gets sued D:<.

perhaps there isn't really much he can do, seeing how it'd be pretty difficult winning against said legend rock star's son? none

Well Kubo did say he was worried or disturbed that Nick Simmons was a mangaka.

americans tend to go overboard with these things

look at k9999-nameless
a sad sad day

also Kubo not knowing english
trying to figure out whats going on from bleachfanboys screaming
then post a comment on it
it would be a message like that...normal ppl[not americans] tend to look at facts before screaming SUE SUE SUE HIM NOWS PLZZ

another thing
he should get sued
what he did was horrible and should not be allowed

I don't know what your reasons for bashing Americans are and I frankly don't care, but don't group me and countless other Americans on here with the bleach fanboys/fangirls going crazy over all this. none

And what makes you think that it was only Americans that were going overboard? Tons of people from other countries can type in perfect English (Loads of people on here are perfect examples).
