Masashi Kishimoto the famous creator of Naruto has moved on from ninjas to Samurai. Well as we see more teases of his new work Masashi sits down to give us a little bit of info on it.
“I may have felt like I poured everything into Naruto, but in my heart I knew it wasn’t perfect, and that thought tugged at me. Around the time I ended Naruto, I felt like the way to draw manga had finally clicked in me, so I wanted to channel that into my next work.
Samurai 8 fulfills a wish he’s had for years to do a samurai story as his first-ever pitch got shut down long ago.“I love science-fiction and samurai, so I want to draw manga about those themes. This manga is kind of a revenge for that [earlier rejection].
“I know it’s a contradiction for me to say ‘I want to draw the perfect manga’ only for it to have the theme ‘it’s okay to be imperfect,’ but it was Naruto‘s imperfections that motivated me to draw my next manga, and when this one ends, the imperfections will inspire me to draw the next one after that.”
