Naruto Book Publication Speeds Up

Viz has announced it will release 12 volumes in the internationally mega-popular Naruto over a four-month period, a vastly accelerate production schedule. This will cover volumes 16-27. Publication of volume 28 in January brings with it a new direction for the series as the characters age two years between that volume and the one previous. ICv2.com, bringing the funny headline, has a round-up of the rest of Naruto-related material coming out this Fall.

Other than two thoughts -- one being that this aligns the volumes more directly with the material being serialized and/or the book series in other countries, the other being that this makes the Fall an event for Naruto fans when there are a lot of fans of the ninja saga out there with whom to have an event -- I can't really figure out exactly why they're doing this. If the enormously manga-savvy David Welsh and his talkbackers are any indication, I'm not the only one.
