Forum:Anime/manga bound/manga s-jump relation

I recently started watching/reading bleach and I was wondering 1)How far ahead is the manga from the latest Japenese anime release. 2)Is the manga ahead of what's in shonen jump, if so by how much, or does the manga match a few months of s. jump? Also, does s. jump edit the manga version, or are they the same? Any help would be appreciated, and I watch with subtitles, so I'm not concerned with the US show.

1) The manga is 40 chapters ahead of the latest anime episode. 2)Not sure what you mean but the manga comes out weekly online. --God (Pray)  05:46, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

I mean right now at the store theres Bleach 31 (i think, with sept 2010) and there's also bleach in the Oct2010 s. jump I have. Do s. jump and the release match up, so I could buy either a few months of s.jump or the latest volume and they would be the same. I'll check this when I get a chance, just wondering if someone knew.

One last question, so bleach is obviously still being written and comes out weekly in Japan right? And they are up around 400 now? Thanks for the help Xieon (talk) 06:00, September 14, 2010 (UTC)Xieon

Nope. The English version of Bleach is upto volume 31. The Japanese version of Bleach is upto Volume 46. I don't know if the S-Jump you are talking about is the english version of the Shonen Jump or not and I am also not sure which chapter the english version of S-Jump is upto. However, even in Japan, there is usually a gap of ten weeks between the volume and the latest chapter in Shonen Jump. For example, this week, Shonen Jump will come out with chapter 420. But Volume 46 covered upto chapter 404. Volume 47 is scheduled to come out in October 4th and will have either 9 or 10 chapters. So Volume 47 will be upto either chapter 413 or chapter 414. I hope that makes sense. Tinni  (Talk)  06:44, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
