The chapters of Bleach manga might have ended three months ago but it doesn't mean that the story will end up just like that. Creator Tite Kubo had devoted most of his time creating new stories and illustrating the most favorite manga of all time forcing him to leave Twitter for a while to concentrate on "Bleach".
For the past 15 years, Kubo was able to illustrate and write script for "Bleach" the way he wanted from the beginning to end. Now that "Bleach" he has some free time and decided to return to Twitter and thanked all his followers and all the "Bleach" fans. He received many letters from different folks of all ages ranging from 3-year old kids to 78-year old ladies. He kept all the letters after reading it because those letters gave him the motivation to continue "Bleach" everytime he feels like giving up, Crunchyroll reported.
Like other manga novelists, Kubo becomes susceptible to illness that prompts him to rest for a while to regain his health and energy. Most of the times, he was bedridden for almost a week and when he thought that he is well enough to start working; his cold will resume which became a never-ending cycle.
He thought himself ridiculous and failed as a 'mangaka' who delivers a manga with a set quality in a set time. Until he received a letter from a sick boy whose medication ceased and was now bed-ridden in the hospital. The letter has no name and no indicated address. The boy stated in the letter that he was now incapable of enjoying anything because everytime he'd watch TV or play games, he only remembered the times he and his friends spent together.
He also learned that he has an incurable disease and wanted to die as soon as possible. However, he was told to wait and still live the remaining 18 months. The sick boy decided to keep himself busy by reading manga and discovered "Bleach" which became his favorite. The manga changed his world and regain his life. The boy requested the letter to be sent after his death.
Before the sick boy passed away he said in the letter, "Kubo-sensei, I have one final request. Please draw BLEACH the way you want to draw it, right until its conclusion. That's what I want to read." No one expected that this simple manga will still give hope to the young boy and decided to live the remaining months of his life.
Meanwhile, the 74th and final collective book volume of "Bleach" will be getting two novels. Makoto Matsubara will write the first novel that will focus on Renji and Rukia and is scheduled for next month's release. Ryohgo Narita will pen the second novel and will center on the secret battle of Shūhei Hisagi and is set to release in 2017, according to Anime News Network.
Kubo now has one request from his readers. That is, to help him search who wrote the letter to express his gratitude to the boy who read "Bleach" but now he won't be able to read the latest volume and the upcoming two novels as additional materials.
