now please understand in terms when i say popular it directly means im talking about manga on op of that i mostly has to due with sales and home country popularity, for example naruto has been around for soo many years like 15 years and
its sales numbers are pretty close mangas that have been around for maybe like 2 or 3 years which is crazy, how can other mangas be as popular as naruto so fast, does time mean nothing?
also more important there are mangas that destroy naruto completely and they have been around for much less than naruto one example is the attack of titans and it more than triples the amount of sales than naruto has.
for example attack of titan has 15,933,801 million sales
while naruto only has 5,553,933 million sales, and i dont think that should be right.
now if you think its probably because attack of titan is new manga and it probably has new crowd or because its in the early stages still then your wrong!
lets compare the most popular manga in japan its one piece and even it came out in 1997
it has 18,151,599 sales which is more than
than attack on titan.

why is naruto then not really popular then compared to other mangas? is it because people find it uninteresting so they dont buy it anymore? or is it because its not getting enough publicity mainstream attention?

I'm guessing here but maybe because manga has grown in popularity since Naruto was released. This would explain your question.

he said in the interview that he thinks naruto isnt really that popular. and i guess he talking about his country how its not like a top number one manga or even doesnt make it into top 3 list.

read the whole thread, i said specifically that thats a dispelled rumor, one piece has been around for same as naruto and it has 18 million+ sales while naruto only has 5 million+

it probably has to due with the story and what people like and dislike.

He actually said he didn't know Naruto was popular outside of Japan

OP is more popular in Japan, but worldwide Naruto has more fans.

lol are you sure? where did you hear that?

Maybe I should have said America.

The 4kids dub ruined one piece for the english speakers, while Naruto's dub was way better. I've seen statistic showing that Naruto trumps over OP in popularity when it comes to America.
