No Hueco Mundo Arc for 2 months!

[NakeBenihime]

A friend of mine from deviantART went and saw Kubo-sensei in person at a huge convention in Japan, and he said he's taking a two-month break from telling the current arc/story line, so he can do back stories on some of the Bleach characters... (weird, I know!) So far, I don't know anything else...

Anyway, for her dA journal entry, go here: http://nekosaiko.deviantart.com/journal/16048139/

I find this hard to believe. When exactly is he suppose to stop?

[Rasziel]

If understood correctly, we will get chapters like:

A day in the life of Hanatarou

Shopping with Ukitake

A psicological trip with Nemu, and etc etc


EDIT: Thx Firecandy :P writting in a rush can have serious concequences

[pp3524]

Please please please Kenpachi backstory xD

[Soranushi]

If this true then its exactly what I wished for three months ago that Kubo would make a BLEACH Gaiden for alll the characters we know nothing about
If this is true. But the only thing I didn't want was for this to happen now but after the HM arc.



Edit: The way I wanted it was for him to make 2-3 volumes released on the side each month instead of the normal chapters and it would be Called BLEACH Memories of the Soul Society or something like that

Well, like I posted on deviantArt, it would make more sense if it's AFTER the current arc. If the story is coming to halt for two whole months during the current arc, I find that hard to believe.

A psicological trip with Nemu

Shopping with Ukitake

Fixed

That can't be true

[Hiraeth]

Well, this would be a good way to learn more about all the people we discovered in Soul Society, and then never saw again - like Shunsui and Ukitake. I mean they're awesome characters and they obviously have a really long history with each other and Yamamoto, but we know nothing about it. Or Nemu and Mayuri- where on earth did he get the idea to create himself a daughter, and why is he such a fruitloop?

Then on the other hand, I really really really want closure on this arc before we get backstory. I wouldn't mind if it was between this and the next arc, but if it was in the middle then I think I'd go nuts

I have no idea when Kubo-sensei is supposed to be taking the manga in this skewed direction, but if I ever find out, I'll post it in this thread. And, I'm under the impression that he does intend to do this BEFORE the Hueco Mundo arc is over, because the journal says that he's taking a break from the Arrancar story for a couple of months. I guess the real question is why is he planning on doing this, but I don't have access to that information...

I'm just going to pass this off as hearsay. But if it turns out to be true... horrible timing for something like this, Kubo.
