Spoiler-jutsu kicks my ass

[rachelmanija]

I went to the manga shop to pick up the latest volumes of Naruto. As I grabbed the latest one, one of the two ten or eleven-year-old boys standing there examining them said, "Oh, that's the one where [GINORMOUS AND TOTALLY UNEXPECTED SPOILER HAPPENS!]"

"...what?" I said. "WHAT?! HEY! I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!!!"

I had the volume in my hand, and I bopped him atop the head with it. (Not hard!)

"Dude!" said his friend. "Don't blurt out spoilers like that."

"Uh, sorry," said Spoiler Boy.

"You SHOULD be sorry!" I retorted ungracefully.

The shop employees attempted to console me ("you should have hit him harder!"), but the damage was done. It was just like Kakashi getting spoiler-attacked, only worse.

And then I went home and tried to console myself by printing the yaoi-illusion since stupid Viz censored it by transforming it into a silhouette, only the site linked on reread_no_jutsu is virus-infected and completely crashed my computer, forcing me to type from a net cafe until tomorrow, when hopefully the computer repair place can fix it. (Details at oyceter.)

...please do not put spoilers in comments, or I will hit you with a shrink-wrapped volume of Naruto.

For a while, all I ran into was Naruto spoilers, including the Gaara Shippuden arc, the death of not one, not two, but three characters, and someone's actual parentage.

I have been reading on OneManga with no trouble so far.

Thanks for letting me know about OneManga!

I have already been spoiled for major AAAGH things by reread_no_jutsu, but since A)I'm a mod and B)it includes stuff covered by the volume 41 spoiler cutoff, it's my own fault. I finally gave up catching up my volume-gaps bit by bit, as we go through the series, and ordered like 8 volumes for next week so I can start reading scanslations again.

I am so far away from catching up. For the moment I am just ROLLING WITH IT.

Seconding the Onemanga recommendation, if you want to read online.
