bashed it once, got hooked onto it. bashed it a second time, got hooked again.prolly lost my mind edi. OTL
within a span of...say two days? i think i covered...89 (still counting) manga chapters worth of story. lol. nuts, never read a manga so fast in my life. even RAVE and Rekka no Honoo were read at a nice comfortable pace.
best thing about this manga? people double-cross then double-cross again until i get slightly confused as to whom they are double-crossing. spoilers here, but i don't think anyone would mind them =P. Sai, the dear replacement for "Sasuke-kun" was assigned to Team Kakashi. his apparent missions: a) to join hands with Orochimaru to destroy Konoha. b) to assassinate Sasuke. c) to save Sasuke. all, concurrently.
"..." *brain concussion* that is after i summarized kay, imagine trying to read that on your own. though I'm sure a particular someone won't have any problems with following the storyline *smacks* this one does.
next best thing about this manga? bishies drop dead like flies XD *poof* Yondaime the moment he appears *poof* Kimimaro *poof* Gaara nearly there *poof* Sasori *poof* Itachi *poof* Kakashi *poof* etc etc. man, they disappear faster than Naruto's Kage Bunshins. well at least they replenish the stock, only to kill them off again or place them in mortal danger. lolz, i'll get down to my roll-call of the dead once i'm done clearing the remaining chapters i have ^^.
that won't be too soon. and it'll take a while for me to clear the rest of the chapters ^^ i have roughly...119 more to go as of now ^^
PS manga's nicer than the anime. true, less colour but much less draggy, coz you go "click" and it's the next page already ^^ on the other hand, manga can be draggy to, contrary to popular belief.
PPS Sai IS kinda cute. and so is Yamato *hearts* soon they'll go *poof*
