Hello everybody! Another promotion journal here and it's about one of the best-selling manga series of all time, having 250 million copies in circulation worldwide in 47 countries and regions, with 153 million copies in Japan alone and remaining 97 million copies elsewhere: I am referring to Naruto.

This is the 25th anniversary of this series that makes use of cultural references from Japanese mythology, Buddhism and Confucianism, and to celebrate this @MBY98 started a nice collab in which you have to choose among the 72 volumes that make the manga series in order to create this collage of artworks. The collab is inspired by 40th Anniversary “Dragon Ball Super Gallery” in which various artists from the Japanese comic industry redrew volume covers of the Dragon Ball book series.
Only ONE cover per USER, meaning that you can only draw one cover, choose from the following list:
As you can see there are still plenty of vacant covers to draw, so if you love this series and want to participate to this collab check this link below to the forum thread:

You will find more info about it and the rules to follow, now go, participate (if you want) and have fun! Believe it!
