The lucky girl over at this LiveJournal managed to get her hands on the Bleach artbook and took some nice photos of the pages inside. I have to say it’s damn awesome because there actually seems to be a lot of new art inside unlike other manga artbooks which just compile all the coloured artworks together and have very few extras. I’m gonna get it next week!

Awww stop paying out his Engrish. You’ll hurt Kubo’s feelings. =P
Hallo is still acceptable seeing it’s the British spelling. The grammatical mistakes are understandable. But orande…. you would think they know how to use spell check.
Yeah ‘hallo’ is ok because it’s just a different way to say ‘hello’ but ‘orande’?? I might even accept ‘oranje’ since it’s dutch but ‘orande’ is meaningless lol
hey these pictures are really nice. does anyone know about the other (prolly unofficial) book called “bleach in bleach” data book? is it good?
I’ve never seen any scans from that but that is the unofficial one since the official ones are called SOULS and VIBES.
Lolzness. I’d think manga-ka’s would know really good english. Oh well. I don’t mind, just as long as the pictures are prettiful.
Shannon: Hahaha you must be joking. Most mangakas have a horrible command of English. However Kubo Tite is pretty good at English though, given all his chapter titles and references.
Maybe he was putting the words “orange” and “Blonde” together, since his hair does have yellow in it…
ah nevertheless.. kubo’s art is amaazing. i want to draw like him
hey alkanphel can you scan the picture ,, Pencil sketches of chapter 181″ in 1024 x 768 ? i need this pic. send it please on bojan15@web.de
Where would you be able to buy this artbook?
Where can I find this Bleach artbook?
In response to alkenphel all three books (SOULS, VIBES, and All the Colors but Black) are official. SOULS is a manga companion, VIBES is an anime compainion, and AtCbB is an artbook from Kubo himself. I’m really surprised more of these images haven’t made it onto the web, though. Thank you so much for taking pictures! ^_^ And I love mangakas’ engrish, it’s endearing that they try
I had no idea that Ken-chan was censored! Man, the Japanese get all the good stuff D:<
