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. 🤢
Oh sure, it was just a coincedence. He just happened to draw his characters way too similar to Bleach. 😛
It's so sad, it isn't even funny. He should get a life. 😔

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'?? >:-( 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:<.

Kubo seems to laid back to sue anyone 😮 ) i read one of the interviews with him and he didnt seem angry...more amused a legend rock star's son was copying him XD
"Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived."- Dalai lama

perhaps there isn't really much he can do, seeing how it'd be pretty difficult winning against said legend rock star's son? 😐

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

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. 😐
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).
