That. was. HILARIOUS!

I loved it! The pace was great, the characters unique, and the conclusion made me fall off my chair laughing! Totally didn't see that comin'.

Geez, there're so many competitions now, I don't know which way to look! >_<

Thanks soooo much *__*
i really enjoyed making this, it was very "me" unlike some of my more recent comic/manga.

I definitely reccomend this comp over the other ones, there's so many benifits from gaining contacts within the embassy! (not to mention tons of free stuff and exposure! )

X3 This popped up under "new" and although I haven't read the rest of the comic this is hilarious!

I love instant ramen... but I had curry ramen the other day and it was good too...

This placed third!? But your crazy shonen-chibi faces in the last panel are teriffic! What placed first!?

Thanks very much! ^__^

It was the first one on "New" and it looked so funny!

I don't have the patience to ink a comic... I barely have the patience to make a page a day... I'll never get anything like this published.

aw well in the very short time i've known you saladchan, i can sense that you'd be able to both ink and get published if you truly put your heart to it! seriously just give it your best, you have a good aura!

Thanks!

^^ Hehe, I'm working on a Naruto fancomic for the summer (I've got a serious project going on at the same time but it's a novel, not a manga) and I've got a few pages up... will you look at them?

kriffix In reply to Saladchan [2008-07-02 23:20:06 +0000 UTC]

sure!
*reads*
ah an alternate version, cool idea, they're looking great!
I hate to say it but...after the time skips there have been few bits in Naruto that have wowed me (in the Manga) and i wouldn't even touch the anime version anymore with a 10 foot pole. I mean seriously...they're really beating around the bush! But i still read the Manga each week even if i don't think it's as good as it used to be. what's you opinion on this?

Anyways i like your story much better, those two pages have given more plot than the whole of the timeskip put together already! xD Kishimoto needs to be more daring, he's succumb to the hordes! xD

congrats on the pages, i look forward to more.
(btw i reccomend you read One Piece, it's amazing doesn't go downhill like some other big series, it's got a lot of soul too! )

Saladchan In reply to kriffix [2008-07-03 01:01:42 +0000 UTC]

I think one of the REAL reasons manga fizzes after a while is that the artists eventually lose too much sleep! X3

Now that we've gone back to NARUTO'S part of the story, Kishimoto's gotten a lot better. He's back to putting a lot more emotion and humor into the story, which is good. It's a breath of fresh air after the long Sasuke plot.

It's also nice to see that Itachi was actually good. I was always under the impression that Itachi left Sasuke alive just to torture him... I guess that's just me though.

I'm uploading page 3 right now.

After the sasuke vs Itachi conclusion, i have to say i was pleasently suprised, one of the few things that has wowed me since the time skip.

kriffix In reply to Saladchan [2008-07-03 18:21:25 +0000 UTC]

Itachi truth part. Kishimoto's not known for earth shattering twists so i really didn't see it coming. XD

Well, the "Tobi is the leader" was totally shocking, to me. I mean, the leader is the same guy who...

You're in the US right? there's plenty of comps there, perhaps even too many. Which is maybe why they're harder to find.
In the rare event that a new comp rises in the UK we all make a big deal about it since it isn't very often ahah xD
