Kubotite's Bleach lol.
I'm surpised Bleach is already at 28 volumes. And that Naruto is beating it.

I don't know about the manga, but the live action drama is awesome! It's one of the best this season, but then again the only other good one is Proposal Daisuke-kun, everything else is 'meh'...

You should be more surprised that after a mere 18 episodes of canon anime (110-127), after 47 episodes of filler (63-109), the Bleach anime has once again returned to filler as of last weeks episode 128...

So of course the manga will still be up there... japanese fans need something to keep them held over until the anime gets on course... again...

As for Naruto... there was a gay sex scene (i.e. yaoi) in the manga recently (or so I heard), so every single japanese (and american) fan-girl is no doubt waiting for the volume with those chapters to come out (will probably be vol. 42 or 43)...

Not quite . . . there was some Sexy no Jutsu antics going on, and Sakura got upset, then it was turned around into the "yaoi" scene, and Sakura goes fangirly. Anime hyper

So, it's kind of like fanservice wrapped around a gag.

Plus, there's just some general awesome going on, with new characters cropping up and old ones facing off. It's exciting! :]

Geez, I had no idea that Prince of Tennis was as long as 38 volumes (and it's not even over yet Shocked ). Ah well, nice to see that it's still doing well.

Yes, Naruto all the way!

I have mostly seen the anime rather than the manga, and in the Tsunade Arc (3rd Arc), there are scenes where Jiraya becomes a kind of fatherfigure and Naruto wants Jiraya to do some fatherly stuff (like staying with him while he practices mastering the Rasengan), because he has never had the experience of parental affection/love. Did the author follow up on this in the later mangas or was it never to be mentioned again?

When will it return to the main storyline, because the current Arc has not finished yet.
