Volume Poems

[Rain]

Here are the first few, I'll add the rest soon

Volume 1

Spoiler!

Hello there. You are now holding the very first volume of bleach. I worked very hard writing it. Please treat it kindly. Sincerely, Tite Kubo

Volume 2

Spoiler!

i'm gaining weight. Not good. Very not good. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions? Let me know if there is a agood diet out there. Preferably something fast and easy... withput a lot of dietary restrictions...and that will make me popular with the ladies.

Volume 3

Spoiler!

i tend to get worried about the seasons in Bleach as opposed to the actual seasons in real-life. the series staerted in the summer, but at that time, it was may in the book. that discrepancy has always bothered me. In this volume, the introduction of ichigo, the main character, finally comes to an end. The setting is june. Unexpectedly, this all worked out quite well. If possible, please read this on a rainy night.

Volume 4

Spoiler!

I moved. My phone number changed. Its a very good phone number. its easy to remember. its the best phone number. But for some reason, I get worng numbers alot. One I was especially suprised by was "Is this the XX (I cannot reveal the name of county) embassy" and a phone call from a foreiner going off on me speaking really fast in russian (i think). Well its funny so i don't really mind

Volume 5

Spoiler!

A little while ago, i don't know what i was thinking, but i bought a suit for the first time in my life. A black suit for all occasions. But even before caring about such occassions, i realized there are no such occasions

Wow...those little author's notes bring Kubo into perspective. We already knew that he's a bit crazy (eccentric) from all the stuff he has come up with. Now we know about some of his real life eccentricities.

I feel like I have repeated myself...bla.

[Zenon]

Some of these notes are too funny X°DD, they make you know better Kubo himself.

Here are some more

Volume 6

Spoiler!

I don't know why but i've been su[per busy lately getting, like, two hours of sleep, not leaving the house even once the whole week. sounds like the life of a manga artist

volume 7

Spoiler!

Since I moved here last year the landlord has taken a real liking to me. His wife even cooks for me. The foods great and I'm thankful, but I feel bad because I've never told them that I can't eat onions

Volume 8

Spoiler!

The other day I recieved a letter from a reader who said that they named their son Ichigo. The realization that my work had influenced someone I didn't even know was both exciting and terrifying. So I've decided to shape up. I hope this human Ichigo can be proud to be named after my Ichigo when he grows up.

[Syn]

I already read some of them. Thank you for re-sharing, Rain, I always thought it was funny and cute to read XD (the diet one was especially funny XDD If only it was so easy, Kubo... XD).

[Gamma]

Very Enjoyable indeed. Keep them coming Rain.

Volume 9

Spoiler!

I have a stereo at home. I bought it with money I earned delivering newspapers- I know its such a cliché. I've used it for over 10 years. recently, it hasn't been working so well. I thought about replacing it, but even if I bought the latest, coolest unit, I'd probably still miss this one. So I can't bring myself to buy a new one. In other words, I'm a wimp

Volume 10

Spoiler!

I'd recently learned to tie almost perfect butterfly konts, something I've never been able to do, and had almost given up on.
Life is a daily learning process. So now whenever someone asks me "whats your hobby?" Its my policy to respond, butterfly knots. this is a limited-time offer, so act soon.

Volume 11

Spoiler!

Maybe it's because i've been so busy lately, but I constantly find myself thinking, "I wish I could draw without worring about time". But in reality, when I do get some free time, I'll probably piddle around and do nothing. I guess you always want what you don't have

Volume 12

Spoiler!

Every year I participate in [Shonen] Jump's annual Jumpfesta evet. This year, after leaving the stage, I looked around the convention center for the first time. A lot of fans were cheering me on from behind, but it was so embarassing so I didn't look back. I really feel bad about that. but what are you supposed to do in a situation like this? Should I have waved? That doesn't seem right either...

Volume 13

Spoiler!

I moved at the end of April. My lanlords threw a farewell party for me. They've been so helpful. Thank you so much.

Because I wrote about here, my landlords wife kindly left the onions out of the salad. But there were turnips in their place. i'm sorry. I can't eat turnips either.

[griffenhawk]

haha, those notes Kubo puts in are so funny and random xD Thanks for posting them up.

[Velius]

Here is the rest.

Volume 14.

Spoiler!

Mom, Dad, are you guys watching? I finally did it. The Bleach anime is on TVTokyo, with scenes that move and dialogue that you can hear. I'm so happy, I could cry. Anyway, I'm originally from Horoshima, but TVTokyo doesn't have a local affiliate there.

Mom, Dad, can you see it there?

Volume 15.

Spoiler!

I judge any new anime by it's opening sequence. The one for Bleach was better then I expected. I was so happy, I burned a DVD of it so I can watch it over and over. Actually, I watch it every night before I go to bed. For those of you out there who love Bleach and think you're its biggest fan-sorry, but that's probably me!!!

Volume 16.

Spoiler!

The new workspace I moved into last year is a bit small, but at dawn, when I open the front door after work, I can see the sunrise. The sky lights up like a fiery rainbow. Lately I've been working until sunrise just to catch the sky. It's not that I have to work all night because I sleep till noon every day. I mean, just look at that sunrise.

Volume 17.

Spoiler!

The first ever Bleach game has been released (it's been out for a while) for the world's most anticipated console, the PSP (Playstation Portable)! I don't know what to say except that it's really cutting edge. This game is every boy's dream-a fighting game! Naturally, the first time you play, you've gotta be Ichigo. But on my very go, I got my butt kicked by Orihime! C'mon, Ichigo, you can do better then that.

Volume 18.

Spoiler!

Chapter 150 and 151 in this volume were featured on the cover of Weekly Shonen Jump and printed in color for two straight weeks. According to the editor in chief, it was the first for the magazine. I'm thankful. Firsts are always nice. I love them.

Volume 19.

Spoiler!

FULL Color!!! The hellish full-color section comes to you in its full of hell form! Now! Enjoy a hell of a taste.

My favorite shoe broke. I'm looking for a shoe-repair master.

Volume 20.

Spoiler!

Bleach is now a musical. I know it sounds weird, but I saw it and it was really cool. There was Ichigo, looking better than he does in the comic, and Rukia, looking exactly like she does in the comic, singing and dancing and fighting. I want people who aren't into musicals to check it out. I'm convinced it will change their minds.
Why am I being so serious?

Volume 21.

Spoiler!

I went to a mid-season production party.

I drank surrounded by men like them. It was pretty intense, but it was fun.

That's all I got. Shame on you Rain for breaking them up to get a couple more post counts.

[Rain]

Vel- would I do that? thanks for posting the rest.

it took me so long to type each up that i had only planned to do a few at a time, but edit the post each time. but it was easier just to make a new post

volume 22 comes out in a few weeks, but hopefully someone can find the later volumes online somewhere otherwise we'll have to wait 3-4 months for each
