| Eh Kishi won't be the one drawing it? I like Naruto art style though. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| I'm sure everyone will judge this on its own qualities and not bring up Naruto. |
 |
| Okubo is a ex assistant of kishi in that case. His art seems pretty good. |
| Lol so he's going from a ninja manga to a samurai manga. I'll go ahead and check this out when it comes out. And like the person above me said, this will unfortunately be compared to Naruto constantly. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Those are one-shots. Therefore, they are not "series", which means they were not serialized (made into a series). |
| @Bocchi fixed, thanks. |

| It's a shame Kishi won't be drawing. I miss seeing his art. |
 |
| Here is the manga visual The artist's profile A comment from Kishimoto |
| Oh yes, new Kishi's works is hype. |
| Well, the assistant's art is pretty similar to Kishi, much better than whatever that is in Boruto manga. |
| Damn I'm hyped for Kishi's new work, but why'd it have to have sci-fi elements damn it Kishi cmon man. |
 |
| Hope it won't be as awful as boruto |

| Well i'm intrigued by what can come out, i'll definitely check it out. |
| I don't really mind that Kishi won't be drawing, I mean I always liked his art but if he can't draw anymore that's understandable. I'm hyped to read his new story nonetheless!! |
gebels said: Weekly not monthly? WOW Why surprised? his most popular series Naruto has also been a weekly series and ran in the same magazine as this one Now,i am really happy that kishimoto is doing a separate new series which does not revolve around naruto universe but can it become as popular or as good as naruto? or will his other works will always be overshadowed by naruto? |
| looking forward to it Kishimoto not drawing it is fine since he can focus on the story telling part more then (this is what Hunter X Hunter needs) and its sci-fi too so thats a plus for me since i like that genre |
| Disappointed that: - it won't be a monthly work like promised, - it won't be drawn by him. (although I know from Katsura X Akira that this kind of experience can work) But I will try it, of course ! Still happy to see him distant himself from Naruto. I hope he succeeds where Toriyama did not. PS: what happened to the mangaka, making him unable to draw? ==== @Kiriikun No idea either why people are "bitching", since this is not what i did. And, of course, I am aware about the work itself. A short monthly series would have been beneficial to everyone: less deadlines, less need to stretch out indefinitely or filling the void, a demonstration of mastery story-wise since working within duration limitations, etc. With "drawn", I didn"t mean only the actual outlines of the drawings who'll be read (it's been a long time since I didn't find Kishimoto's drawings appealing/good). I also thought about the layout of the pages and anything else that comes with a comic. "Story" is not the number 1 thing in this kind of production. I'll use Toriyama again as an example: while his own manga show a certain sense for dynamic composition, movement depiction, etc, the DBSuper books are devoid of any talent in that department. Meanwhile, take a look at Katsura X Akira and Katsura actually offers a better rendition than Toyotaro while working on materials delivered by the same person. |

| The visual looks very interesting, im kind of bummed that Kishi wont be the one drawing it but still hyped nonetheless |
| yeah, like everyone said, kinda disappointed it's not kishimoto, nut oh well, as long not as awful as boruto and the story is good, i wouldn't mind... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Interesting news. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that he isn't drawing. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Probably gonna check this out, the art is quiet good.. Hope this manga doesn't have overpowered power like sharingan, rinnegan, etc that messed up the power level like in Naruto, so side character could shine too.. |

| Super disappointing he isn't drawing it, I thought Naruto artstyle was the best of the Big 3. It'll be better than Boruto for sure, I'll just follow it like how I've been following Fire Force or Edens Zero, simply cause I was a huge fan of their previous work. |
| Wow, I'm really looking forward to this. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| If you read or watch Bakuman, you should know that Weekly Shonen Jump is best place for him because its sales circulation is still highest in Japan. But maybe because his health condition, It will be hard for him to do both story and art weekly. So for this new series he decide to collaborate with another person and this person is his assistant when he made Naruto. In term of art from what i see, Akira Kubo is far more close to Kishimoto than Ikemoto who draw Boruto. What i concern is Sci-Fi element. Just like Hiro Mashima add sci-fi element to his RPG story in Eden's Zero, Kishimoto also do it despite its Samurai instead of Ninja. For me its stil good decision. I admit that I really like his art more than his story, but considering his age and maybe his health condition, i don't want this series will be Hiatus x Hiatus 2.0 |

| Looking forward to this. Though hopefully if it becomes a long running series, it won't suffer in the same dip that Naruto did in quality. Maybe the fact that Kishi won't be both drawing and writing this series at the same time might help him not get as burnt out creatively (well that, and i doubt this will go on for aas long as Naruto did lol)? Time will tell. |
| I can understand why he's not drawing. Drawing Naruto for so long fucking killed his hands so its a good idea to be working with someone. I like sci-fi, I love robots, and cyborgs, and shit especially if their all fucked up. Hopefully this series has a lot of that. |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
| Yass! Kishi is starting a new manga series although its a bit saddening that he's not the one who illustrates it. |
| I'm super excited for this, the concept seems really cool and that announcement video was sick! |
 |
| This will be interesting. |
| cool i'm so excited for the new naruto sequel |
Edward Elric > your waifu  |
| i’m hoping for the best of this series and Kishimoto-sensei. hope he can kicking it again in WSJ |
 |
| I was never into Kishi writing per say and kinda on the meh side of it being similar enough to Naruto in stylistic themes. I'll judge it off it's own merits but I expect since he doesn't have to balance writing and drawing now. And he's matured more as a creator as well. Shall see. |
 |
| Unsure how well it'll do but it's cool nonetheless. |

PS: what happened to the mangaka, making him unable to draw? the mangaka work load is crazy it's a lot easier on him to just focus on the story instead which also gives him free time to chill with his wife and son he gave it to his assistant I don't see why everyone is saying I wish kishi was doing the art I wish ikemoto was working on this for everyone to start bitching |

NeoAnkara said: Eh Kishi won't be the one drawing it? I like Naruto art style though. yang gambar mantan asistennya om Kishi,bang... jadi ya,kita liat aja nanti. - since the story teller is Kishimoto himself and the artist is his ex-assistant,then it worth to take a look. - Samurai+Sci-fi... it would be nice, since there're lot of legendary Sword, kenjutsu, and ronin on japan (especially, the legend of 47 ronin). And i think Miyamoto Musashi would appear on this story. |
