this one in particular got caught plagiarizing
Oh I had no idea. That explains a lot.
So did Chihayafuru but we got 3 seasons of that
The Bleach Fullbring filler arc is a very clear ripoff of Yu Yu Hakusho's Chapter Black. Like, undeniably.
Also it sucked.
That's not really the same problem because you're comparing a filler arc to main plot but it's always worth saying because I think it's funny to annoy uncultured (haven't seen Yu Yu Hakusho) Bleach stans.
Sort of; the mangaka did, but on a completely different manga that predates Chihayafuru.
Yeah, looks like the copying was with Yuki’s early 2000’s manga, Flower of Eden. Chihayafuru is completely unrelated to the plagiarism accusations. The author even fessed up and apologized.
~~Damn I loved that manga too~~
