But isn't it funny.

Sometimes around last year there was this long break for the Bleach manga because Kubo was gathering his thoughts and energy for the final arc of Bleach or somesuch... and it's still going on and shows little sign of being over soon.

And here Naruto is in it's final two chapters, without too much of an advance notice. I only heard about it definitely ending two or three weeks ago.

I certainly wouldn't have thought that Naruto would end before Bleach.
