NEWS: Tite Kubo to Draw Burn the Witch 'Season 2' Sequel Manga

Presumably the mini-series format of this manga is far less strenuous than it was working on a weekly manga like Bleach.

The fact it appears to be releasing in seasonal bites most likely allows Kubo to take it more easy than on a weekly series.

Now if only a certain Hiatus x Hiatus lad took a queue from this...

I thought Kubo had said that writing and drawing Bleach was literally killing him with illness at the time, and that's why it had such a rushed and awful conclusion? I guess he finally got over whatever was ailing him years later.

Nope, Kubo has stated in a radio interview that he worked through his health problems to reach the Bleach ending that he had envisioned and was satisfied with. And he accomplished that, according to himself.

So he envisioned it being a sloppy mess with unanswered plot holes and events like the Gerard Valkyrie fight that ultimately amounted to nothing? Understood. Why else would there need be novels written by other people in order to tie up loose ends that he himself was not able to during the manga's run? Remember when Cyborg Zombie Kira was fighting Chicken-kun and the manga cut away from the fight and never showed how it resolved or the fate of either character involved? How about the stupid and lackluster fight between Ichigo and Aizen Vs Yhwach? If that's the ending he envisioned and was satisfied with, then he clearly wanted to be done with Bleach and move on to other things.

I'm pretty sure Kubo was only referring to the last 2 chapters which take place after the events of the 1000 year blood war.

Kubo had health problems (severed shoulder tendons) for months before that, and he said in that interview that there were times where he thought about ending the series prematurely, but in the end, he said he pushed through his health issues to reach an ending he was satisfied with.

Unless, of course, you assume that Kubo lied for some reason.
