So the Naruto manga concluded last week. I haven't kept up with it for about ten years but I decided to read the whole darn thing start to finish. It's shonen and I have no delusions that it's something greater, but it was really nice to finish the story, finally. The last 200 issues (if not more) are one continuous battle that keeps escalating more and more, it goes well beyond the insipid ridiculousness that the series explained away with 'Ninja Magic' before, but it was engaging and entertaining as fuck.
Unfortunately I had a lot of shit spoiled ahead of time because the other people who like Naruto are fucktards with really, really terrible senses of humor and bookend scans with their nauseating fanart. The final issue did that Epilogue bullshit where everyone follows their dreams and got married, blah blah blah.
Now I'm going to try to catch up to One Piece, which if I remember correctly is about 5 Million chapters long, and ongoing. Anyway if anyone has some super-gory shonen to recommend me I'd be into it. On the level of grotesque as Gantz but not as pretentious please, thanks.
Anyway, I smell like the kind of person who has read the entirety of Naruto so I'm going to go do something about that.
