Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth

Did anyone read this ?? Its quite funny and entertaining . A spin off from Naruto it seems and based on Rock Lee .

[Dattebayo!]

I'd much rather see Kishi put all of his effort in to the main story, or if he is insistant on doing such things then I would rather more of the Kakashi Gaiden type stuff, maybe some info on the 4th, or more of Madara's back story... he has alot more interesting options he could explore, whats gonna be next? a Tenten one ? :S

kishi didnt write it himself..................... read the credits man....

[Dattebayo!]

Still, he would have needed Kishi's go ahead for it for the Saikyou jump spinoff, just would be nice to see 100% focus on the Original.

[Googlez_kun]

Loved it.I wish Kishi would make chapters like this from time to time.It was a perfect spin-off.

Yeah, the man sure can't take 5 minutes out of his day to approve this.
The rest of the canon story will most likely suck because of this.
[hr]
I liked the part where Kakashi tells us why he wears his mask :P

[RezzieThaRapper]

I have never laughed so hard... When Lee touched Sakura's breast I had an extremely unusual laugh, and my friends thought I was dieing... It barely sounded like a laugh, it was more like the side of the brain the dictates what is funny was raping the part that dictates anything else...

So all in all, I loved this...

[Exodi]

Clearly, I enjoyed it very much.

Sakura's face when Lee touched her boob was priceless.

[kkck]

Its not something I would follow. Not a big fan of rock lee overall. Other characters would make a better spinoff (shikamaru or konohamaru anyone?). I do admit I had a few good laughs from the chapter though.

Poor lee, I bet he didn't even feel a thing:eyeroll but get to feel the wrath of a titan :p


Go Rock Lee you made my day :tem

[ForMotherRussia]

maaan, this thing is funny, really. And now we know the reason why Kakashi wears that mask, lol

[mattiaildivino]

Clearly, I enjoyed it very much.

Sakura's face when Lee touched her boob was priceless.

ahahah yeah it's a fantastic parody,i enjoyed when Neji used the Byakugan to see the book and his blood came out :tem

[Gats]

I liked the spin-off, I love Kakashi's reason to wear his mask. :D

[Nieuwsgierig]

Quick short question: When does it appear? Weekly, monthly? I can't find anything on Wikipedia.

The next issue comes in February i think.

[mattiaildivino]

The next issue comes in February i think.

and when did it come out?

(ahah,Kakashi's reason to wear the mask is the best! with neji's Byakugan that sees in the book)

[Googlez_kun]

and when did it come out?

(ahah,Kakashi's reason to wear the mask is the best! with neji's Byakugan that sees in the book)

This issue came out on December 12th,if that is what you meant.

[juUnior]

Liked it <somewhat funny at some points - Oiroke no jutsu by Lee/Gai - mind*uck :p> Can't say I will read it, but it sure is nice to read it for fun <though Raruto fits me better to read and laugh BECAUSE of Naruto manga and the related stuff with it>

[mattiaildivino]

why are there a lot of these fan art? there's the same for One Piece (chopperman),DRAGON BALL ecc.
bah,maybe it's a contest.

[Googlez_kun]

It's a magazine called Saikyo Jump i think.It has some spin-off of popular Shonen Jump manga and i think it even has some original manga.

[Duc :D]

just saw it on mangastream

anyone else who thinks this page is very disturbing?

[Alecz156]

http://mangastream.com/read/rock_lee/47634488/15

Kinda makes you think aswell :s

[NAM61]

it was very funny and weird. messed up sex jokes

[jjpower]

I didn't like it.

[alphabeta]

I dunno, lee going byagukan was pretty funny imo.

[Raizen]

I thought it was funny!
I did not know they did chapters like that?

[alphabeta]

The first two were released even back winter 2010

[DaDarkDude]

All I can say is that Lee trying to go Byakugan made me lol, and that those Hula skirts scared me. That's about all that effected me after reading this. Though I also did laugh at Naruto's sudden hostility when he was walking by... always the idiot, huh. xD

[Suzaku]

I thought it was funny!

It's a spinoff manga by another mangaka, from a new Shueisha imprint for young children called Saikyo Jump.

There's also a Dragon Ball spinoff called Dragon Ball SD and a One Piece spinoff called Chopperman.

[Rikudou King]

Man I'm loving these chapters. The placement of those swans were disturbing funny and seeing Gai and Lee muscled out was awesome. Hope the next one comes out sooner then this one did.

[jjpower]

man I can't see why you guys like it :/

I guess we all have different sense of humor...

[Jessie]

^ No, I agree. I didn't find it funny either. I know the humor is geared toward 5-8 year old boys, but I did like the first two. Now it's just repeating the same joke that Lee can't use ninjutsu.

I am hoping the next one uses some of the other Konoha kids to spice things up like they did with Sakura in the second issue.


Hope the next one comes out sooner then this one did.
Probably won't see RLSoY for another three months. This one was suppose to be released last month.

[kakashidad]

Changing the subject completely and probably breaking the rules as well...sorry mods,please place wherever you see fit.

How funny was it to read Rock lee springtime of youth?his ''byugan'' looked so retarded, i thought he wanted to use the toilet, lol.And the result of the training for his fight with neji and the commentary from Tenten was hilarious...''why does only one side of your body look like that''compared to lee.The response was just as funny naruto use to be this funny onces a long time ago...sigh.

What!!! this is aimed at kids you say?There's absolutely no way i'd let a kid below the age of 16 read this...there's much too many induendo's imo.This is for grown ups.I thought it was hilarious.From the first page to the last,I'm still pmsl.

'' All I can say is that Lee trying to go Byakugan made me lol, and that those Hula skirts scared me. That's about all that effected me after reading this. Though I also did laugh at Naruto's sudden hostility when he was walking by... always the idiot, huh''. xD

Hmm, if i saw some werid dude coming out of some bushes.I'd respond the exact same way...there's nothing idiotic about his behaviour...imo.:blink

Sorry,this is not geared to 5-8 year old boys.If that's the case.It would need looking at by some organization...like the feds or something.It's more adult that what your implying.It's like what the producers did to a kids show called ''captain pugwash'' many many many years ago.It's charactors were called....wait for it.Master Bates,Seaman Staines and Rodger the cabin boy....lad mags overhear rumbled it a few years ago.
I kid you not.

[mattiaildivino]

nice,I liked it. anyway I didn't like that neji accepted gai's result,that is it was a draw. Neji should have got angry!

[Bhoot]

It was bad IMHO . I did not like anything about it . Probably because to some extent I am against sex jokes .

[Nonlife]

I needed the laughs that this chapter brought me! ("Rolling-Eyeballs-Back-Into-Head" No Jutsu 4 da win!!!)

[White Silver King]

Why Rock Lee...?

[Sanadan]

I checked out the first chapter, won't be looking any other up. I didn't find it amusing at all, maybe it's all lost in translation or something but I was not entertained.

[Googlez_kun]

Why Rock Lee...?

Because he's awesome.It's kinda dissapointing that Kishi is neglecting such a great character.

[ZayCon]

Because he's awesome.It's kinda dissapointing that Kishi is neglecting such a great character.

Totally agree! It's a shame how little screen time all the awesome characters has got in part 2 of the manga!

Personally I find Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth really funny! Some of the jokes are epic x)

[Googlez_kun]

I just read the latest chapter:lmao
Konohamaru's seduction jutsu and Lee's Rasengen were epic already,but the Harem jutsu at the end topped it all.
Epic chapter!

[DementedKirby]

Man, I've been really enjoying this little comic because it gives attention to Guy's team and makes TenTen not suck as much. However, this last chapter with Konohamaru was too disturbing. I'm not homophobic, but it's just wrong. Konohamaru needs to go peeping more with Naruto and come up with better perverted ninjutsu than pedophilic clones. I laughed when Sakura fell for the Sasuke + Sai, but Guy + Lee was too much. I was right next to Sakura, Naruto, and Lee when they were puking and traumatized; scarred for life :D.

[Suzaku]

Sorry,this is not geared to 5-8 year old boys.
What the hell is with people trying to pretend like the manga they're reading is "mature" and "adult"?

I'm sorry, but Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth is one of the manga published in Saikyō Jump, which is a magazine for young children (the pre-shōnen crowd). The magazine's official catchphrase is even, "manga for the strongest kids!"

Even Shōnen Jump manga are primarily targetted at young boys roughly age 10-15. You shouldn't be trying to profess the maturity of what you're reading unless it's something specifically targetting the 17+ crowd, like from a seinen magazine such as Ultra Jump. Compare something like Death Note to MPD Psycho and you'll very quickly see the difference between "for adolescents" and "for adults".


It doesn't mean it can't appeal to you as an adult, but don't pretend like you're the target audience, unless you're some kind of manchild. And, honestly, how any Western adult could find typical Japanese humor funny is beyond me. They're stuck in vaudeville, relying almost solely on slapstick and puns with virtually no concept of sarcasm or dry humor. I see people laugh at Sakura punching Naruto for being stupid (again) and it just makes me cringe.

[xXan]

@Suzaku

Sry to blow you bubble bub BUT this is a mature teamed manga for me. I would NEVER let my kid read something like that (if i actualy had a kid lol).

Now i don't know about that guy but for me this is a adult teamed manga not because it is a "Shakespeare" but because of all the sex related joks (bad one at that to lol).

If people would put a nude picture of X babe in school books then that would defenetly not be a book addresed to young children(even if it states it is on the cover).

One would ask why they removed Naruto kissing Sasuke (part one) when they edited it for the rest of the world. Gues things work diferently in Japan.
_________

Can't say i laugh at this manga but i find it ok to read it when i am at work...

[mattiaildivino]

this parody becomes more stupid step by step. it was funny but now it's gonna be boring.

[Googlez_kun]

I agree,this series' quality will probably drop soon,because i don't see how this can continue.It's not like it's an original story.It's a spin-off and they have their limits.Maybe the author will try to work with other characters from the rookie 12.

It's just a short, semi-monthly series published in a magazine for little kids. It's not like they have to come up with an over-arcing plot.



@Suzaku

Burst my bubble? I'm not the one who thinks a manga targeted at 9-year-olds is "mature".

There's nothing in it that you wouldn't find in any other kid's manga: lame puns, slapstick, and toilet humor.

I know that,but there's a limit to the jokes you can do with Rock Lee.

He doesn't mean this spin-off,he meant Naruto in general.

[Darth Executor]

Ha ha, the 06 springtime of youth is hilarious. I usually hate these things but this one was awesome.

[UchihaUchiha]

Ha ha, the 06 springtime of youth is hilarious. I usually hate these things but this one was awesome.
hahar.yeah it is hilarious.

[DementedKirby]

At least it's something entertaining to read until the next Jump comes out.

[matsemann08]

Springtime 7 is out (http://mangastream.com/read/rock_lee/44978930/1)

[Sachsenhesse]

nejis kaiten was totally awesome... ^^

[ZayCon]

Both chapter 6 and 7 was hilarious, as it always is! I like this manga spin-off a lot :D Good to see old characters as well, as they don't get screen-time at all in Naruto (SAD thing)! :)

[mattiaildivino]

honestly,it doesn't amuse me much,but I like the fact that this parody follows the story pretty good.

[afo]

This is so great that It was announced it will be made into an anime *-*

and for those who think this is a little mature for children, just you need to know that Japan is an open-minded society...

[Googlez_kun]

I was not particularly fond of chapter 7,but hell,chapter 6 sure made me laugh.Bald Tsunade,hahahaha.

[bigman]

Springtime of Youth 08 (http://mangastream.com/read/rock_lee/54272468/1) is out.

I don't know why i like this silly spin off so much, but this chapter made me laugh.

[Googlez_kun]

Konoha Breeze.:lmao
Liked this chapter,way funnier than the last one.

On another note,I wish Kishi would take the time to develop Lee like this.

[benelori]

This was a very funny chapter...Lee's techs take the crown...what I liked most was the last technique...with the cookies or what the hell it was...when both Neji and Kakashi had to look with their eyes:lmao

Not to mention that Guy x Lee is just funny:p

[Googlez_kun]

Also loved Sai's and Neji's pokerfaces.:lmao
Probably the best chapter so far.

[Naruto2011]

"plump, juicy thighs is what drive a man."

LOL this chapter had me laughing so hard

[hopeandlight]

very good

[HaiSuShi]

Chapter 9 is out (http://mangastream.com/read/rock_lee/12252058/1).

Hinata and Neji time!:zomg

[LnDRash]

Chibi-Style suits Hinata much better then all those other characters until now... gues thats because she's actually cute to begin with lol

I like the part where Neji greets Akamaru like some old buddy and gives a shit about anyone else^^

[Uchiha_Blood]

Good grief, this chapter made my day, Hinata's version of Lee's was really awesome.
Like when Neji 64 palm'd poor Akamaru. Or like when everyone transformed into Narutos. Or like when Neji beat the crap out of them all. Or like how cute chibi Hinata was when she fainted seeing Naruto.

Next will be Team 10? Since every other team was already introduced

[Googlez_kun]

Since when are Hinata and Neji siblings?They're cousins.

Anyhow,alright chapter.

[Rikudou King]

Ah, look how close they've gotten. I have to say Hinata was adorable in this chapter.

[matsemann08]

I like that Akamaru looks pretty much like pre timeskip Akamaru :)

[hopeandlight]

must be a japanese thing
but think about it
their fathers are twins
they mights as well be siblings

[Jessie]

I can't tell you how much I am in love with the latest chapter of Rock Lee SD. Best Naruto manga chapter in a while even though it is a gag manga.

Rock Lee Chapter 15 (http://mangastream.com/read/rock_lee/59666222/1)

Tenten vs Temari Part 2! Tenten being awesome! Temari being awesome! ShikaTema! Everything being funny! Breast Hammer! Did I mention ShikaTema?!!! :derp

[eefrit]

http://mangastream.com/read/rock_lee/39020548/1

Another great chapter.

This one made me really miss the Akatsuki and made me really wish they were more like this.

[HaiSuShi]

Omg, the scene with the cloaks and Lee's conclusion.

"Hey, we match."
Haha, Deidara and Sasori, I rofl'ed for minutes.

[Uchiha_Blood]

Golden chapter, I love how Konan just roll with everything with the same, emotionless expression.
How I miss them :gwah

[Jessie]

http://mangastream.com/read/rock_lee/32387355/1

Mangastream now has the latest RLSOY out and it is the best one yet. Maybe the most fun naruto chapter I've read ever.
