lol...sorry I offended someone..no man..the manga doesn't stop..but shippuuden stretches the manga so much..let's review
Naruto> 1 ep= 1 or 2 chapters of manga
Naruto Shippuuden> 1 ep= half a chapter or less
WTF?!?! the fights got ruined etc etc
so I stopped watching..that would make me a non-fan..but wait!
I started reading the manga! wich makes me a fan again..sorry
ah..on that note..Soma: Manga is STILL going..so TONS of characters to pick up on..
