Naruto Cartoon Enjoys Ripple Effect



ICv2.com offers a nice report about how the Cartoon Network's playing of the Naruto anime has led to a mini-explosion of interest in the manga volumes, as reflected on the Bookscan charts. It's interesting to me in that I wonder how if any serials were less than well-served by a rush to put out books, even though this represents a kind of re-start to the publishing effort and as such a counterargument that having a book out there is an impediment. I enjoy the Naruto manga, incidentally. It has pretty airtight emotional-action balance among its leads (the key to any team adventure serial) and the action is depicted in an interesting, thoughtful fashion that manages to hit all the proper dramatic beats without seemig to go through the motions.
