There are several articles talking about this. However, it should be noted that I jumped the gun a bit. Nothing is explicitly confirmed, as well as the fact that word used for "volume" could also be plural. But as for right now, 5 chapters left is just a rumor based on the imagae that was uploaded yesterday. We'll have to see this week's chapter to see how Kubo is pacing this. I personally don't think that 5 chapters is all that's left, as it doesn't make sense to obscure the number of chapters left in the magazine, only to reveal that Bleach will be over in the fall in the volume that was released the same day. I've read even crazier rumors that this is an elaborate joke/lie by Kubo and Jump to make US feel like Ichigo does and give up hope. As cool as that would be, please take that with only the most minute grain of salt~
