Naruto's Masashi Kishimoto Considers Writing Sci-Fi Series Next

The October issue of Masashi Kishimoto on Thursday, wherein he discussed his ideas for his next work.

Kishimoto says in the interview:

I've already decided what I'm going to write about in my next work. I'm thinking of writing a science-fiction work. I've already finalized the character designs. I think the protagonist is one that hasn't been seen before in manga, and while it's me saying it, I think that the character is done very well.

I want to think once more about the difference between what I want to write and what readers are looking for when reading my works. I started thinking about this by writing Naruto and various one-shots. Naruto became an unexpected hit, but I want to make my next work a hit as well by actually aiming to do so.

I don't know when I'll announce my new work, but please wait for my challenge of a work that will sur Naruto.

Kishimoto added in the interview that the new manga will mostly likely not be a weekly serialization, due to the muscle strain put on him by the weekly Naruto serialization.

Kishimoto Boruto -Naruto the Movie- film.

At a preview screening for the film in July, responded with a wry smile, "I can't. Please let me rest now."

After finishing Naruto, Kishimoto said, "During this time, I finally went on my honeymoon. Even though my son has grown as big as [protagonist Naruto's son] Boruto." Kishimoto had gotten married over a decade ago.

Kishimoto will New York Comic Con event on October 8-11.
