Bleach

[LoveToStack]

I find reading the manga online rather irritating, so I'm considering just buying the manga and reading that rather than the anime cause I cba with major fillers.
How is it it's released? Is it like, weekly in shonen jump or can you buy bleach issues on their own?
+REP for help on this matter

Yeah, I dislike reading manga online as well. The anime is well ahead of the manga in England/America though, it's only just got to Grimmjow's first fight, which is episode 121 in the anime. Even with fillers, the manga isn't published in England/America fast enough to catch up to the anime now. It is indeed published every week in Weekly Shounen Jump (the Japanese one is, of course, up to date with the manga series, but the American one is well behind). Tankobon volumes are released every two months in Japan, and every 3 months in England/America. Although it used to be every 2 months, no idea why they delayed it even more. Unless you read the manga online, the anime will always be ahead. Which means we have to sit through fillers apon fillers. Quite annoying, isn't it.

Eugh that is vAnnoying. Ill just try to keep reading them online then.
Ty for your answer +REP if I can
Yh I looked into the volumes and they're actually at the bit where Grimmjow etc decend apon Karakura town in the latest volume. So depending on how long the current Anime filler takes to wrap up and obvs how frequently they are released then it COULD catch up, but still they'd have to churn them out pretty quickly.

LOL, I actually remember when YOU were on the SS arc and I was on the bounto arc! Serves you right for enjoying that arc while I suffered. :badgrin:
I thought the fight in Kariya's mansion was quite good, and there's a good fight with Mr T. aswell before they change arc (this arc change is still part of the overall bounto arc, but it's an arc change within that...if you get me). And then once the arc changes over into SS bounto, then there's some decent fights. kinda
And then you get the arrancar arc which is WELL GD, but then after that there's more filler which I've tried to watch but the first episode left me bored and already predicting who was gonna be 'the bad guy'. tsk.

Lets work it out. The anime went off into a filler arc at volume 33 of the manga, the English release is at volume 23, 10 volumes behind. A volume is released every 2/3 months. The English manga will take 20 months at the minimum and 30 months at the maximum to catch up to the anime (if the anime took a break or was on a mega long filler or something). That's basically two years. The Bounto filler arc was 46 episodes long. An episode is released every week. That's 46 weeks, which is 11.5 months. I guess that the english Bleach manga would just be starting the Hueco Mundo arc by the time the anime picks up again, which means it will still be behind by about 6 or 7 volumes, which is 12 months/a year behind. The English manga will never catch up unless the current filler is over two years long.
