Aw geez, I missed like this entire thread, lol.

May as well throw in my two cents: I agree with Sal about putting up the novels' information on their own specific pages and making sure to note that their canonicity is up for debate - though I'd be willing to have that changed if we can get confirmation from an official translator like Adam that Kubo does consider these latest novels canon to his manga storyline (no offense Gimmekensei, we just like to be absolutely sure about this stuff). I also think characters who showed up in the novel about Rukia and Renji's marriage can get apocrypha sections similar to Harribel's on their pages about their involvement in that story, although I'm not quite certain about the characters in Hisagi's novel. Might have to bring that up with Sal.

Things like that should only be cast aside as opinions, it raises flags otherwise, and I know that 95% of the fanbase 100% blames the editors of shounen jump. It leaves a bad taste on my mouth. Naruto had the 5 week notice of cancellation, but the author didn't waste panels and was able to give an average ending.

Bleach was announced to end 2 months earlier, and has two more volumes than Naruto. The sales weren't great, but the reason it continued means something, and the info Kubo gave for the novels means that he had work to do and material for the manga. Kishi was given the opportunity to make a new manga sequel,Boruto. The reason Kubo doesn't have people helping him in his office, like others authors do, creates a red flag for a sequel. Is like an none existent interest on his part. I'm not quite sure what spurred this, but Bleach has kinda been getting the shaft for years, even prior to the rushed and sudden ending of the manga. No anime adaptation of the final arc, always being pushed to the back of each weekly issue unless it had a cover page, etc. Might've been due to Kubo's comments on the industry and his editors, I really don't know, but it's not comparable to Naruto's situation (remember how they stretch out the anime for 2 years after the manga ended? Wewlad).
