| Anche a me sarebbe piaciuta una cosa sul team 7. A proposito di one-shot di Kishi... CITAZIONE Kishimoto's first work as a manga artist was Karakuri (カラクリ?), which he submitted to Shueisha in 1995. This earned him Weekly Shōnen Jump's monthly "Hop Step Award" in 1996, granted to promising new manga artists.[15] This was followed in 1997 by a one-shot version of Naruto (NARUTO-ナルト-?), published in Akamaru Jump Summer. In December 1997, Kishimoto premiered as a Weekly Shōnen Jump artist with a serialized version of Karakuri in Weekly Shōnen Jump 1998 No. 4-5, but it was immediately canceled due to poor performance in reader polls. In September 1999, a serialized version of Naruto premiered in 'Weekly Shōnen Jump 1999 No. 43, and quickly became a hit. Naruto is still ongoing, with over 60 volumes published, and has sold over 113 million copies in Japan and over 95 million copies in the US,[16] followed by over 93 million copies worldwide (outside Japan and United States) as of volume 36, also being adapted into two successful anime series. The Naruto manga series has become one of Viz Media's top properties,[17] accounting for nearly 10% of all manga sales in the US in 2006.[18] The seventh volume of Viz's release became the first manga to ever win a Quill Award when it claimed the award for "Best Graphic Novel" in 2006.[18] Responding to Naruto's success, Kishimoto said in Naruto Collector Winter 2007/2008 that he was "very glad that the American audience has accepted and understood ninja. It shows that the American audience has good taste... because it means they can accept something previously unfamiliar to them."[19] Two of his former assistants, Osamu Kajisa (Tattoo Hearts) and Yuuichi Itakura (Hand's), have also gone on to moderate success following their work on Naruto.[20][21][22] In 2009, Kishimoto designed an extra costume for the video game character Lars Alexandersson for Tekken 6, and in 2010 this character appeared in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 as part of a special cross-promotion.[23] In 2010, Kishimoto also produced a one-shot baseball manga, Bench (ベンチ Benchi?), as part of Jump's "Top of the Super Legend" project, a series of six one-shot manga by famed Weekly Shōnen Jump artists. For the ninth Naruto film, Road to Ninja: Naruto the Movie, Kishimoto was responsible for both the story and characters' designs.[24] In order to promote the film, Kishimoto also worked in Motion Comic Naruto a DVD that shows scenes from the manga in 3D that was given to the first 1.5 million people who went to the cinema.[25] Regarding Naruto's publication Kishimoto told Tetsuya Nishio in July 2012 that the series would take over a year and a half to end. However, Kishimoto admitted that it now appears that the manga will continue beyond that timeframe.[26] In April, 2012, it was announced that Kishimoto would publish a one-shot version of his long-postponed mafia manga, Mario, in Jump Square,[27] based on a rough, 160-page manuscript he began working on before Naruto became serialized.[28] Ci fu una versione one-shot anche di Naruto... Quindi potrebbe essere un tentativo di vedere quale successo possa riscuotere questa one-shot in vista di un nuovo manga di Kishi (tratta da Mario)? Questo significherebbe che Naruto è proprio agli sgoccioli.
