A few years ago I read the first two or so chapters that were released by someone planning to make a manga. The person had art that was spot on to bleach, and I believe their identity was revealed to be someone who worked on the bleach anime crew as an artist. I don’t remember much of the plot other than something to do with the elements, specifically water. Any help is appreciated. What I read was almost a mock-up proposal of a manga with the first chapter or so up as a preview if that helps. I just want to know if it got anywhere haha.
Anymore details that can help? because closest that comes to mind is 'shaman king' but I don't think it is what you are looking for
Either rebirth Knight or incarnate are the ones that come to mind. The latter is pretty infamous for plagiarising bleach.
After reading Bleach I realize how extremely similar it is to Tokyo Ghoul manga. They got Touka character spot on. Kinda creepy
It was more like a proposed project than anything actually made. At the time, there were maybe two chapters and it was posted on a forum or something. It was not published at that time. I was curious if it ever made it further. I doubt it, but I live in hope. The art was dead on to the bleach anime, but the story was not. I think one of the main characters had hair with a vivid color like blue or red.
