Latest Naruto Book Ascends Charts

image

The 13th volume of Naruto hitting the big USA Today generalist bookstore sales chart at #25 should raise some eyebrows, although in a way you could see it coming. Naruto seemed for a while there to have two different tracks of readers -- fans of the comic in Shonen Jump and then a bigger fanbase coming at it from the anime. (There are doubtless other avenues driving readers to the series.) Because Naruto is of a high enough quality to retain readers, it makes some sense that interest up and down the line would at some point start to manifest itself in a greater combined sales impact on new releases: one of the great positives that comes with successful serial literature.
