Seeing his confirmation of this in a brief note at the end of this volume about how happy he is to be able to draw manga at his own pace has me very excited to see what he can do with Burn the Witch Because, let's face it, it was clear Kubo was getting burnt out by the end of Bleach. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I certainly wasn't prepared for it to be more Bleach! Seriously, when I got to the big reveal at the end of the first chapter, as to what exactly "WB" stands for, I was absolutely delighted by what could come of this. But in a way, it's fitting, because I went into this series blind, just curious to see what Tite Kubo was up to, post- Bleach. First, the version I got came with a plain plaid slipcase, which.isn't the most engrossing choice. The subtitle for this volume, "Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover," is perfect for a variety of reasons.
