I realized that there are a lot of Sakura exposure recently. I go to information sites that has nothing to do with Naruto and I see ads of Sakura figures. Not Naruto, not Sasuke, not Kakashi, and not Hinata.

I'm fairly certain it has nothing to do with the Chinese article. They WANT people to believe that Sakura is the worst heroine so that article is a plus for them. I won't be surprised if SP makes a blog about the article and then write down "That's why we have Hinata!!" or some kitten like that.

I think there are two possibilities in why they're bringing out Sakura back again
1. The NARUTO ending volume, the art book and the Kakashi Novel didn't sell as expected.
They know that the number of fans are decreasing steadily so they are trying to sell the novels while Naruto is still fresh. If they wait until July, they are wary of the possibility that the fans would lose interest by then.

2. Sakura merchandise sells more than Hinata's
SP probably expected Hinata's merchandise to sell a lot more and the anime to have more views with the LAST but it didn't. So they have increased the exposure of Sakura to act like nothing happened and sneakily put her back in heroine status as a last resort.

What do you think?

I say both. They saw that the last volume and that novel aren't doing well so now they're trying to sell anything as quickly as possible so that all people that are still interested in Naruto, will buy their stuff. And also the fact that their move backfired with them taking the status from Sakura and giving it to Hinata. They believed that Hinata is really loved and that would make them more money but in reality it didn't. So now they're backpedaling.

 

Isn't Kakashi fandom in Japan bigger than Sakura's and all ? If it didn't sell well, I don't think people will buy the others either ! Plus, fans are well aware of what SP is trying to do with all this "secret feelings" thing ! 

And there's too much non interesting books ! 

They made the mistake to chose Hinata over Sakura...so let them lose all their money, because that's what they deserve for ruining this manga ! 

As far as I know yes the Kakashi fandom is bigger but here's the thing. Why should they buy that garbage?

What they did is an insult towards anyone that ever liked/loved any of these characters.

Some SS fans might buy it. But since SS fans hate SP, it's doubtful if they would really fall into the trap and buy it. The SS fans I know think that Sasuke and Sakura are just there so SP can put them down to make the death god couple shine.

I wonder if the SP is selling NaruSaku with that DVD cover because they know the SS fans hate them?
  Lol, SP looking down upon fans again. They insulted us and they still expect us to open our purse. Lol.

I've heard that there has been an increase of S/N and NS products recently someone here confirmed that  but I don't think its for the purpose to piss of the SS fandom isn't NS also loved there !? The way I see it  from a business point of view  , you do that bc its just sells and brings you more profit and its no wonder they do that bc S/N NS always sells  especially after the info we got about NH/Hinata merchandise collecting dust in the stores .

 

So you can say what they do is damage control  bc they kittened up   its no wonder that they try to lure S/N with all the merchandise for the last volume  and us NS  for the Sakura Novel  by putting that "ambiguous feelings" kitten about Sakura when everything is already revealed  I swear SP are so kittening stupid if they think we'll fall for that kitten    .

[LuckyChi7]

So I've been hearing alot bout this new manga called Black Clover which people are saying has alot of similarities to Naruto more than Boku No Hero Academia had. There is only 1 chapter releasd and the only way to read it for free is through youtube. 

 

my thoughts on chapter 1: it's okay at best.

Fillers and money and probably killing the mood of the CPR for the NS fans. Other reason is Sakura's novel, they think fans of Sakura will buy it more in that date.

I've been trying to find the first chapter to this manga everywhere! I wanna see why people call it almost a carbon copy version of Naruto.

That's what I was thinking. The pool of satisfied Sakura fans has got to be very small. If they like Sakura now it's only because she's with Sasuke. So it's a bit of self-insert Sasuke worship, not actual liking Sakura as a character. Before the travesty of an ending, I don't think it would be unreasonable to expect that Naruto fans would buy the novels regardless of the content. But now, because of what they've done to her character, who would buy it? Her role has been practically erased in the series. NH fans won't buy it. General Naruto fans who are only lukewarm about Sakura won't buy it. Only SS fans will buy it. And since SS is the ship with ZERO development, it makes no sense for them to actually stick around to buy a novel after-the-fact. 

 

It speaks volumes that they've moved up the release date on the novel. It means that they realize they've killed Sakura's popularity. Maybe they were hoping to keep people interested in the novels with the Sakura one hanging at the end like a dangling carrot. But the change in dates can only mean the novels are not selling nearly as well as expected. New strategy, get the most popular characters out first. The numbers must show that the whole thing is sinking fast.

Greedy. Naruto is not doraemon, shin chan, or chibi maruko chan.
There's no need for them to prolong the anime, especially with filler fest.

My thoughts.

 

More than a carbon copy of Naruto this is a carbon copy of too much manga clichés...

I stopped reading at few pages before its end (a bit stupid from me, I know it, but I wanted to give it a chance ).

The drawings are ok, but this is that's the least the author could do.

So predicable and boring...

 

I guess that I'll wait new tv series of Ushio to Tora in the summer for some decent shonens...

Italian people, do you remember this title?

Naruto will never be like the anime you mentioned ! It lost a lot of its popularity, and selling books and adding fillers will only make them lose more money !

And seriously, as an ex-Naruto fan, the only book I would maybe buy would be "tales of a gutsy ninja"...just because it was mentioned in the manga, and seemed to be really awesome !the others seem so uninteresting ! They should have thought about releasing a book about Itachi maybe...but Shikamaru, the other konoha rookies, the unpopular Akatsuki members, Sakura's feelings for Sasuke...or even how Kakashi became hokage...who would buy that ? Certainly not all the fans, just a minority. I still think that Kishi should have added a few volumes to explain everything well, it would have been wiser !

Why would someone make a video like this?

It's really perplexing. Did Kishi and those around him drastically overestimate the popularity of Naruto down the home stretch? I can't imagine anyone really wanting to buy these novels, especially the Sakura ones. Or are we misjudging the popularity because we're all "salty" NS fans here?

Why would someone make a video like this?

 

According to one of the youtubers:
A short promotional video about the spiritual affection between father and daughter titled "My father is a liar" (My Dad Is A Liar) newly posted was taken away tears of millions of viewers.

The video above is located in a new ad campaign by an insurance company in HongKong. The girl in the video, though still young, but already aware of the difficulties of everyday life that his father was going through, she was used as a text in field exercises instead of words to say to his father.

Opens with scenes cheerful, happy father of two children, but even then people see as stalled with the word "guilty bar" Her: "He is a liar."

To daughter have a better life, the father did not spare himself toil, from builders, veal shoulder, leaflets to labor. He lied to her not to make meals for hungry children, lied that he had a stable job, enough money so she can have everything you want, ...

Touching ending with a message from her "I love you" makes the hearts of viewers boundless love of a father for his daughter's pet. Along with the message "The future children deserve all the sacrifices in life" helped the insurance company on a beautiful image in the public eye.

Just one day after the premiere, this video has attracted more than 2.4 million views and more than 130 thousand shares on the social networking site Facebook.
