Of fanservice and others

Let's start off this blog with something I'm really familiar with: anime and manga!

I've been downloading the most recent manga chapters of Naruto from NarutoFan and noticed that Masashi Kishimoto-san has been generous lately when it comes to fanservice.

Specimen #1 CH 347, page 010

On the previous page in this chapter, Konohamaru was showing off to Kakashi and Team 7 his ultimate version of Oiroke no Jutsu by transforming into two naked girls hugging each other. Much to Sakura's dismay, she said that was just immature of them (the boys) to fall for a stupid jutsu. So Konohamaru transformed into his ultimate version of Oiroke no Jutsu - yaoi style. Although I doubt Konohamaru's learning of Oiroke no Jutsu is relevant to the "Sasuke-already-killed-Orochimaru-arc", it gives a sort of comic relief for the series. And even if my inner-fangirl squealed in yaoi-delight, I am very much a SasuNaru shipper still. But note Naruto's expression of "horror". Teehee.

Specimen #2 CH248, pages 012-013

Honestly, I don't know what kind of squeal my inner-fangirl did when I saw this. Either I wanted to rip Karin (the girl character) apart (no touching Sasuke!) or be confused if this is Kishimoto-san's way of telling us that Sasuke is indeed not interested in the female species. Not that I mind much, but just think of all the threats Karin must be getting from the all yaoi shippers.

Well, I can't wait for the update of the new chapters. I want to look for more fanservice moments, and even if it might be a late update, it's still better than nothing, ne?
