Naruto 52

This volume has some of the most adrenaline-pumping scenes yet, but I also felt the emotional stakes. I wonder how the author manages to keep both alive simultaneously.

The tension really ramped up, especially during the confrontations. It made me think about how the series maintains suspense over so many volumes.

The creativity behind the techniques and characters always amazes me. I’m curious whether Kishimoto drew from existing mythologies or crafted everything from scratch.
