I would reread right after the last two chapters comes out this week, but I have Shaman King rereading to do.

And to pick up drawing references along the way for a friend's Christmas gift.

Man, usually I like being flexible with my schedule, but boy, ain't I booked for the remaining two months of the year.

I've been meaning to reread NARUTO for a long while now anyway, traditional first anime/manga thing.

I grow more anxious as Tuesday draws near, which I realize that Wednesday will come next after Tuesday.... and... the realization that the series /really/ will be ending is going to be sinking in slowly and

painfully.

Then be disassociated for weeks when I keep reminding myself that "Oh right, no NARUTO this week. It already ended some time ago."

I've been following the manga weekly for about 7 years now, it's so... frightening.

I fear that I will latch onto that absence of something that /should/ be there when I return to it, only to remember this over and over again.

It feels so damn surreal.

I still remember the very fresh days when Kishimoto released the information that NARUTO would reach its final in no more than a couple of years some years ago.

I just have so many.... conflicting feelings. Happiness that we'll see it end and that I'll get to see it fresh when that day comes, sadness that it's going to end, and..... fffuurrrhfkddsal. /)_(\

IN OTHER NEWS, trying to find a computer that is not Windows 8 (specifically Windows 7) in stores around here is going to really suck.

My current computer won't survive until June 2015 for the release of Windows 10, nevermind past Christmas Holidays if I'm lucky.
