I'm studying abroad in Kyoto, Japan this year (about to come to an end, though...*sniff*) and one of my good friends found the manga at a book store and got it because it looked cool. He got another friend hooked (although the latter could really only look at the pretty pictures), and then they rented the first DVD and showed it at school in the lounge, where I stumbled in on it. Later after another guy who lives in the apartment building was watching a fansubbed version, I went on Kazaa and started downloading. Loved the first episode, got hooked, went straight to the source at Toriyama's World. When I caught up to them, I ran another search and found AonE subs, and now I'm working on getting everybody
else at my school hooked before I head home in a little over a month....
Recently, I got some money from my parents for my birthday. Went out and blew a third of it buying all the published Naruto manga plus the guide, character, and fan books (21 published books plus the other three). Blew another third or so on
this shirt, which in fact just came in today and I'm wearing as I type this. I'm planning on spending the other third on a tattoo--I have a design in mind already, but I suppose I could always put it on my stomach and change it to look a little more like a seal....
