Shonen Jump Shocker! Kishimoto and Tite make huge announcements!

04.01.2009

 

Masashi Kishimoto made a huge announcement at midnight on April 1st sating that he will ending his long running shonen jump series.

His reasoning for doing such was summed up in a statement he made at a press conference regarding this.

“I am tired of all these fans taking the characters I put my sweat and tears into and posting up their fan art of them doing things they would never do in the actual series. Sasuke and Naruto are not hot for each other! They were once friends and now rivals! Nothing more! Knock it off!”

Following this shocking announcement, artist Kubo Tite, creator of the manga Bleach had this to say; “I agree with my fellow artist Kishimoto-san. Too many aspiring artists are taking what we did to entertain the masses and turned them into their own perverted fan arts, the Ichigo and Renji have a deep friendship that spawned from their heated rivalry with each other. It doesn’t go any deeper than that!”

Ironically enough, when reporters asked Eiichiro Oda, the creator of the series One Piece for a comment on this subject he made this statement; “Thats what you guys get for drawing your male characters looking like some bishounen.”

Such a huge announcement has shocked and the anime world in a whole. Hopefully because this Weekly Shonen Jump’s sales won’t plummet as fans will hopefully buy the manga for its other great stories.

    That’s a great April Fools, was that one from you guys, or was it Shonen Jump? It’s really funny, and parallels the Exploding Maple Trees documentary on NPR.
