How long did it take Naruto to become a popular manga?

Does S8 still have a chance?

This basically started to serialize the past month.

Dead on arrival, will be axed or moved to some irrelevant magazine in a few months.

after the anime

The first volume might sell more than HxH. I keep seeing people say its extremely popular in Japan but I can't find proof

I do think the anime will give it a huge boost and we'll see more of the initial "woah this is the real sequel to naruto!" statements we was in the beginning

I don't think it's "extremely" popular, but I think a lot of people are really underestimating the power of kishi's name. There's no way the first volume flops.

we're like 30 weeks into hiatus right now, we cant really laugh at anything else

is this tenchi?

It came alongside a bunch of axe fodder and kishi said he would take it slow/introduce concepts and stuff early cause he knew he had security. The first real arc should start this week with the villain ata so its gonna be telling from here on out.
