Shonen Jump Press Announcement
Reported by: Tazmo on Friday, April 1st, 2005 at 11:12AM

Shueisha Inc. the publisher of Shonen Jump weekly magazine has announced in a groundbreaking news conference a way to combat the problem of having its famous manga series copied and traded on the black market, and on the internet. "With this new technology we will be implimenting in Shonen Jump magazine and other properties, these problems will all but disappear!" Shueisha spokesperson Shigatsu Fuuru told reporters. "Copying of our properties will be something impossible to do, no current technology will be able to scan and copy these images clearly, in fact the only way this could happen is if someone were to trace our manga and scan it" joked Fuuru.

While Mr. Fuuru would not comment on the technology used for the printing of new Shonen Jump manga, inside sources are saying that it will work much the same as currency, and checks where you can not make a copy of the original by simply scanning, scanned images of Shonen Jump manga will show nothing more then a black image. This project is expected to cost over an amazing ¥5 Billion JPY ($50 Million USD) which will be covered by a ¥100 JPY ($1 USD) price increase effective immediately. It is expected this will put an end to manga being distributed online.

So use a camera.
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Chapter 253 manga spoilers :

Lee's team looks badass now. Neji looks pretty good with the robe and long hair, though lee himself ldoesn't look much different... a bit taller, if anything

There's a King on a throne with his eyes torn out.
There's a Blind Man looking for a shadow of doubt.
There's a Rich Man sleeping on a golden bed.
There's a Skeleton choking on a crust of bread.

Why? It'll be a bunch more flashbacks with one cool thing at the end.
