I won’t read my Shonen Jumps until I read all the volumes of Naruto that came out through the fall/winter, cause I know I’ll be totally lost.

I also read someone comparing how easy it is to get into a manga series versus an American comic one. It went something like this:

If I want to get into Naruto, I go to the store and get Naruto volume 1. Then I read them all in order and it all makes sense.

If I want to get into X-Men, I go into the store and am confronted with several different series, each with their own continuity. Which is the “real” X-Men series? Where do I start? Why do the facts in this one not jive with those in that one?
