Is Bleach being plagiarized?

I have never read Bleach, but do know there are dozens of volumes, so that's a lot of potential coincidences...but several of these look like practical traces from Bleach.

I am just wondering, why not choose a less popular manga to copy from?

Because its less popular which means he probably wouldn't get any popularity either. (You're talking about gender-wise? Drawing-wise?)

So instead he aimed to the top. And got "caught".

I guess it turns out the manga he was stealing from wasn't even released yet in English, so not only was he stealing...but he was stealing two times.

Wait, wait, someone thought Bleach was worth stealing?

Man, steal something good, like Touch or Yamato. But don't steal KOR or Utena, that would make Tsuwabuki Mitsuru angry.
