Bleach: B
Well, that was good. I really hope the truth of Masaki's death has to do with Bach.

It will because Bach is also Aizen. Everything according to keikaku.
"Manhwa" is the actual Korean word for "comics". "Manfra" is just ridiculous gibberish.Follows the naming we use, like manhua for korean manga....
He said it wasn't the final episode yet. I believe that's all.I'm not sure what basis they have for this claim -- maybe something they saw in the issue that wasn't included with the spoiler pics -- but Manga-News seems to believe that Aku no Hana is heading towards an ending soon. Apparently something Oshimi said in his author's comment for the issue?

I think this is highly likely.Soul King then turns out to be evil and drove the Quincy and Shinigami to war because it amused him.
Bach is Aizen's father.
Aizen has Quincy powers too.
Didn't use them because no fucks were given.
Aizen is then the father of all the Stern Ritter? Why? Because fuck logic, he's goddamn Aizen.
Soul King then turns out to be evil and drove the Quincy and Shinigami to war because it amused him.
Straight up wackiness.

I dont understand why Soul King would be evil, what has he been doing for 1000 years or whatever, just twiddling his thumbs and sipping tea?

We still know very little about the Soul King or what purpose he actually serves correct?

Is Arakawa going to be able to do Silver Spoon and that adaptation manga at the same time? And license Silver Spoon already someone!

Looks like a seinen comedy-drama baseball manga whose main character wants to make lots of money.Edit: no idea what the other general winner is about.
I like Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, if only it gets updated more often. Prison School winning makes me laugh.Winners of the 2013 Kodansha Manga Awards:

He's going to be chaotic neutral; one of those Gods who just destroy mindlessly (these occur a lot in Science Fiction/fantasy)
I really hope thats not the case, would definitely put Bleach on a path towards having a really awful ending.
It's already on that path, at this point we may as well hope that we get the most entertainment value available on the way.
Aizen wins would be anything but an awful path
Bleach 536
This week Kubo teaches us, once again, that if you have a plot hole, just retcon it. Does anyone actually respect this writing? It's awful and shameless.
Yeah, you don´t know what you are talking about. First it was never shown how Masaki died. There was a mystery about that which the Bleach fandom have speculating for a long time. Secondly she already lost her power when Isshin saved her. Third you don´t know what a plot hole is.I would consider it a plot hole thatPerhaps saying that he has a love for pulling plot devices out of his ass is more accurate.Ichigo's mother could die to such a weak hollow now that we know she is a quincy. They're about to explain "the real reason" why she died. Strikes me as bullshit, personally.
No, it´s not something he made up last week. It was something carefully planed for a long time, or else Kubo would have showed us how Masaki exactly died, and Grand Fisher remembering killing her.I suppose we see Kubo's writing quite differently. You may see his changes to past characters as insightful or development into their histories, but I see it as something that he made up last week to keep his series going. For example,I mean, if you like Kubo's writing, then it's just a difference of opinion. I think the series is full of plot holes, awful character development, and extremely contrived plot devices.Aizen's spiel about planning out Ichigo's whole life, Ichigo's martyrdom which is ruined by continuing the series and giving his powers back. I guess that's when I started despising Bleach. I really would have liked it ending after he loses his powers to defeat Aizen. It's cliche, but not awful.

We never saw how Masaki died.At least a portion of this was absolutely set up much earlier on. The very first time we see Isshin as a soul reaper, right after the Soul Society arc, all of his interactions with Urahara (and later Ryuuken) forecast the events of this flashback to the letter.
The promise to tell Ichigo what "really killed his mother" doesn't necessarily imply a total tossing away of events. It promises to flesh out an event that was NEVER totally clear. Ichigo ran after Grand Fisher's lure, some "stuff happened" where he passed out, then he woke up and his mom was laying on him dead. This was never a complete tale of what happened, it was always something we needed to learn more about. Grand Fisher saying "lol I did it" is not a complete tale. Now we're gonna learn the full of it. That's not a retcon for christ's sake.
Kubo did not retcon anything. We never saw how she died.His sister are likely to be "just" Shinigami/Quincy hybrids. Them being also Hollow would depend if Ichigo received all Hollow reiatsu while on the womb or not. Considering that Isshin recovered his powers, but only Ichigo manifested his hollow. I do say they are safe. I wouldn't be surprised if Yhwach kidnap his "daughters" to recruit them into the Vandenreich.
And LOL at Kubo retcon Masaki's death. His writing has many flaws, but so far this flashback has been very consistent. It's very likely Masaki lost her powers, and if not, Grand Fisher said he didn't remember killing Masaki and Ichigo lost consciousness before her death. She could easily had been killed by the Vandenreich or another party instead and Grand Fisher being the scape goat.
Ichigo´s powers awakened because he come in contact with other powers. That seems to be really hard to understand to you.This does seem to be the case. I may as well ask more questions since some of you may be able to explain.I still don't think I'll ever see the better opportunity for Bleach ending than after the Aizen arcHow is it that Ichigo's sisters don't have the powers that Ichigo does? He's just special?I really dislike that Ichigo played the martry by giving up his powers only to get new ones, and eventually his old ones back. It takes all the weight from his decision away.
Highly likely.Besides Hollow powers, that I find likely that only Ichigo posses for being the first born, His powers awakened when he met Rukia, and he was a 15 year old at that point. His sister have just entered junior school, so if anything, Kubo was inconsistent (but not actually) by having Karin already be close to Urahara and possibly be introduced to Hollow combat.
And there was no way Kubo could have ended Bleach at Aizen's arc. He set too much cliffhangers at that point. From the Royal Guard and the King, to Isshin's past, the bodies Mayuri found at Syzariel's lab. The problem is that Aizen arc wasn't meant to last that long.
Aizen is not done, not by a long shot.Guys, Aizen is done. He's been reduced to secondary character. Just accept and let it go.
Aizen will be coming back. He has some spiel with the Soul King and that plot point has to come around eventually.
Also I don't know about you guys but this face doesn't exactly scream "good guy" to me.
He might be somewhat neutral though.
I dont understand why Soul King would be evil, what has he been doing for 1000 years or whatever, just twiddling his thumbs and sipping tea?
I still think that the Soul King's not a person at all which is why it horrified Aizen so much.
Do any of you read much Josei or Seinen? Any recommendations for lesser known, quality series? I read Berserk, Vinland Saga, Vagabond, Billy Bat, Oyasumi Pun Pun, I Am a Hero, and Zetman, but something thoughtful and less actiony would be nice. Preferably, but not limited to, great Josei stuff 'cause I don't read much of that.
So I assume you are fine with slice of life manga in general and not just josei manga?

Definitely worth a read. It's classified as shoujo but the themes it explores is very mature. Certainly the best post apocalypse manga I've read.
I'll also throw in these recommendations:

The manga adaptation of Maoyuu Maou Yuusha?Manga gaf, I need your help.
If you are willing to help, a while ago I had started reading a manga and saved it for later but forgotten the name of it.
I can discribe it.
There is this girl with red hair and convinces the lad to become her knight. And she is like a demon or something, there is this maid with glasses.
