The return of 'Bleach' is getting closer, at least in the anime. The third part of 'Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War' premieres next October on Disney+, and apparently the same Tite Kubo He's been pretty involved in its production to refine some moments he wasn't happy with in the manga.

Kubo is very much his own person when it comes to working. And while many mangakas often rely on editors while creating their manga, relying on their feedback and advice, The creator of 'Bleach' has confessed that he likes to work at his own pace and without interference by its editors.

“I'm the kind of writer who doesn't really have many meetings with his editor,” Kubo revealed in a recent interview. “When I had the[manga]series, my editor would come to pick up the manuscript once it was finished. And I'd say, 'Next week I'm going to do this,' and then he'd leave.”

This is a rather unusual approach when creating manga, because Editors' opinions often carry a lot of weight and they usually know how to steer certain parts of the story. They can give advice on how to lighten up plots or include elements that might attract readers, and They must also know how to leverage their authors' strengths.

Although sometimes they can also interfere and almost cause an author to want to abandon his series, as happened at the time to the creator of 'Detective Conan'. And it seems that Kubo was not interested in any other opinion in 'Bleach', and at least the editorial department was perfectly aware of this.

“It was more like I didn't give them any choice. As long as my editor kept me motivated, that was enough,” Kubo added. “When I met with my editor, the editor-in-chief would say… You only think of this guy as the guy who collects your manuscripts, right?”
