Forum:Bleach plagiarised

I am sure most of you have heard by now but for those who haven't. Nick Simmons, the son of Gene Simmons, has been accused of plagiarising Bleach in his comic:. On his twitter account, Kubo made the following twits (credit for translation goes to Maaru of FLOL) regarding the matter.

なんか、昨日の夜から今朝にかけて、すごい数の海外のファンから「アメリカにBLEACHの真似をしてるマンガがある！」的な返信が入ってた. で、サイト見たら英語よくわかんないけど、どうも「ジーン・シモンズの息子のニック・シモンズが描いてるマンガだ」みたいなことが描いてあった.

Actually, from last night til this morning, a huge number of foreign fans were saying "This American manga is ripping off Bleach!" or something like that. Well, I looked at the site, but I can't really read English, and it's a manga made by Gene Simmons' son.

正直似てるかどうかより、ジーン・シモンズの息子が漫画家ってことのほうが気になる…

Actually, whether it's plagiarism or not, I'm more worried about the fact that Gene Simmon's son is a mangaka.
