Manga author Tite Kubo
recently rejoined Twitter and revealed that he's a bit lost in his day-to-day life with no longer having to work on the next issue of his once-dominant shonen manga. It will be interesting to see what Kubo does next to say the least. With an estimated net worth of $50 million, Kubo doesn't necessarily need to do another manga series, at least not for financial reasons.
