Naruto manga, volume 1
Q: What is Naruto?
       
     A: Well, if you didn't know, you probably wouldn't be here.
         But it's a manga (comic) series in Japan that's recently
         been adapted into an anime series. The characters are
         great, the storyline is great, and episode 39 better come
         out soon or I'm going to die of Naruto-deprivation.

         See the blonde kid in the picture over there? That's the
         main character of NARUTO. And his name is, dun dun dah,
         you guessed it--Naruto.

Q: My favorite character in the Naruto series?

     A: I love Kakashi. He is too too funny not to like, and his always
         sleepy/bored looking eye is too adorable. But he's not my
         favorite character, he got replaced when Hayate appeared
         with his "I-didn't-get-enough-sleep-and-I-need-my-coffee" look.
         AIIIIE!!! TOO CUTE FOR WORDS. But Kakashi's right behind
         him.             After those two, I also like Hinata, Kurenai, Sasuke,
         Sakura, Naruto, Haku, Tenten, Izumo, Kotetsu, Anko, Gaara,
         uhm, I'll stop before I end up naming all the characters. The
         only one I really really don't like is Orochimaru for the obvious
         reasons, but even he's starting to become tolerable. However, I
         DO detest Kabuto and I hate Baki to his filthy guts.

Q: Favorite Naruto pairings?

     A: Ah, damn, that's tough. Reason being I like nearly all the
         characters: Therefore, I want Hinata to be with Naruto because
         she likes him, but then I want Naruto to be with Sakura because
         he likes her, but then I want Sakura with Sasuke because she
         likes him, but then again I want Sasuke to be left the hell alone
         because he wants to be left the hell alone, which invariably
         leads to one hell of a dilemma. And the Japanese fangirls are
         getting to me, making me think that KakaSaku is actually kind
         of cute. And though Ino is after Sasuke in the series, I really
         think that she and Shikamaru would make a great pair.

         I'm not too fond of yaoi in general unless the author very
         clearly dictates that there IS a yaoi relationship. Then I have
         no objection against it at all. However,
         most of the best art sites are yaoi
         So I've grown a healthy amount
         of tolerance for it.
         Actually, my main objection to stuff
         like KakaIru, etc is fairly simple....
         THEY'RE TOO HOT TO BE GAY!! T-T
         I don't think I'd ever, say, write/draw
         anything yaoi though.  And it's sad
         how het pairings are so neglected
         now. If you don't know what yaoi is,
         I'm afraid I'm not the best person to
         explain it.
