Sasuke's Back!
Naruto and friends finally catch up with their long last pal, but it’s not exactly the heartfelt reunion they were hoping for. In fact, it’s anything but! Take your time reading this month’s
Naruto because the manga is going into overdrive next month.
We’re planning on bringing you more manga way faster. We’ve got a bold plan — SHONEN JUMP Accelerated, and it all starts with your favorite ninja! In Japan, the
Naruto story is way ahead of the one you’re reading here. So, we’re going to speed up the manga in
SJ to get you closer. But that’s not all!
Slam Dunk’s also graduating from
SJ this month, which means it will start coming out a lot faster — one manga volume every other month. Plus we’re adding the new series
Tegami Bachi to the lineup next month. Don’t get left behind — accelerate!
