This year’s 33rd issue also marks Weekly Shonen Jump‘s 55th anniversary. Kishimoto last drew a one-shot in Weekly Shonen Jump when he published “Naruto Gaiden ~Michita Tsuki ga Terasu Michi~” (Naruto Side Story ~The Path That the Waxing Moon Illuminates~) in April 2016.
Minato Namikaze won the worldwide character popularity poll “Narutop 99” that was held in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Naruto franchise earlier this year.
Kishimoto ended his main Naruto manga after 15 years of serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in November 2014. He then wrote the one-volume sequel manga Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring. Kishimoto also worked on the script and character designs, and served as the chief production supervisor on the Boruto -Naruto the Movie- film sequel.
