It's because it's licensed to the shonen jump, which is a magazine in Japan. Most manga readers in Japan (and China for that matter), will buy this magazine every week. As I recall, about 20 manga's are part of the weekly shonen jump. So basically, you get a lot of reading each week.

But you follow only Naruto, so you think it's short, however, you aren't paying for anything, so they don't really care about your feelings. =D

More clear now!
BTW I was not complaining, I was just curious because it's my first manga and I found very strange that each ep is much shorter then one anime ep.

Most manga authors could easily make more chapters every week, but that wont earn them more money, in fact it will cost them more, so why bother? Perhaps if we all start paying for online manga, they will drop shonen jump and make everything online. Then we wont have to wait for the jump to be distributed each week, and we can easily get 2-3 chapters per week.

I have no problem at paying to read online. The problem is that not everyone works and so their parents may not be willing to pay something like this. I know itvery well, because my parents have some sort of "Internet's Phobia"...
So when I didn't work i couldn't play original online games or buy stuff on the internet(I'm from Brazil, and gadgets here are much harder and more expensive then buying abroad)

Kishi has to draw it himself every week and plan the sketch for next week as well and so on.

Unless your paying for the manga you have no reason to complain about it.

Animators are a big team,tbh if anything you should be disappointed about them because of how shit of a job they have been doing (fillers etc)

Yeah, I know how that is, but I'd rather say, it's cause they are simply bad at exploiting the huge market overseas. I know they sell a lot in Japan and Asia, but I think there is definitely a market for it in the rest of the world. There are also some national versions of it, for instance in Norway and Sweden, however, usually they are behind, and people don't want to wait, when the manga is out (illegally) beforehand on the internet.

The manga we read in middle of week, actually doesn't appear in stores till monday after, because some of the distributors puts it online illegally.
