I've been reading the Naruto manga online. I started with the funeral at the end of the exams (in anime timeline, episode 80 or 81 I think), and now I'm up to Chapter 165.

And all I have to say is:

Manga!Kabuto is even more my fandom boyfriend than anime!Kabuto.

I felt a kind of geeky-cute attraction to Kabuto during the first exam, but as soon as he showed up in the forest I started to really pay attention-- especially when he made the comment that if Naruto ever learned good chakra control he'd be a monster. Then when Kabuto greeted Orochimaru for the first time and we found out he was evil, I was positively smitten.

Right now in the manga I'm in the middle of the 3-way senin fight, and I loved Kabuto's little temptation of betrayal. It was even more explicit in the manga than the anime.

Also: everyone is prettier in the manga.

I was noticing that, particularly with Naruto. He's a lot cuter in the manga than the anime.

I want one of my own.

::laugh:: That's what I said when I first walked out of the theater after seeing X-Men 1. I was like, "Mystique is an awesome lieutenant. I want my own Mystique. Where can I get one?"

I'd like Kabuto too. But I'd use him for sex, because he's not totally trustworthy as a subordinate. He's a rat (however cute and efficient) and he might betray at any time. Or, as soon as its safely feasable for him to do so.

Actually, the reason I started to read the manga was that I saw octopedingenue's babyninja!kakashi icon and, well, I can't turn away from even the mere possibility of Kakashi Backstory.

I don't know what "gaiden" is.
