Naruto chapters?

[Akiretsu]

Does anyone know how many chapters ahead of us Kishi is on average?

example: we are on chapter 615 of naruto, but does kishi have all chapters up to 650 done and is currently drawing chapter 651?

sorry if its confusing

Honestly, IDK. Also, I don't think anyone else does either.

not even a rough estimation?

 

[Fanta]

Well unless kishi was personally asked a question about this.... or unless there is a standard among manga writers, we cannot say anything.

He probably is just a few chapters away I'll say 1-5, because if he was really that far away he wouldn't mind posting a chapter with no break since he's finished with the chapter we want to read.

Because we know Kishi's whole week schedule time by time. It wouldn't be surprising if we at least know about his manga's .

Ask Kishi.

His reply would be :>

Spoiler

Hey, i do all the drawing, as i am the manga artist too, you know.
I cannot ask others artist to draw the next few chapters.
In case, someone leak the future chapters.
Only the latest to-be-released chapter to touch-up for me.
Of course, i already have finish many chapters ahead.
Oh.. After the War, there will be some more.
Naruto go around the World to talk about "Peace"
Just like SO6P, if you know what i mean.....

Nobody knows that - it's not like anybody knows him personally.

He's maybe a few chapters ahead if he is already but not much. He gave his schedule once and it showed he had only four hours of rest per day every week. If he was further ahead he could take longer breaks.

Plus each chapter has to be approved by the editor. If it's not approved, it has to be drawn again so that takes time as well. And him giving a chapter each week if he's further ahead, is not something that he can decide. It's the publisher's decision. If they decide to not post chapters for a week, then the mangaka have no say in that.

So he's probably not far ahead, but we don't know about it because he never said anything about it
