The shonen manga/anime scene was never bigger than when
The Big 3 (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece) reigned supreme.
One Piece is still going strong, and
Naruto has a continuation in the form of
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, leaving
Bleach as the lone big 3 member that's not producing new manga or anime.
But is that all about to change?
It has been confirmed that AnimeJapan will feature a special panel celebrating the
20th Anniversary of Bleach. It will contain a special announcement concerning
Bleach and a second announcement about a new tile from series creator Tite Kubo. It's heavily speculated that Kubo's previously released one-shot manga
Burn the Witch, will be turned into a full-blown, ongoing manga series.
In addition to Kubo,
Ichigo voice actor Masakazu Morita and
Byakuya Kuchiki seiyu Ryotaro Okiayu will also appear on stage, along with Weekly Shonen Jump editor-in-chief Hiroyuki Nakano.
A mysterious website has also been launched at
