"Weekly Shounen Jump" Plants Over 7,000 Trees to Celebrate Over 100 Million Copies of Naruto Sold. Fans Can Now Become Tree Patrons.
To celebrate the now over 100 million copies sold of the long-running "Naruto," "Weekly Shounen Jump" has chosen an unusual way to mark the occasion. With the help of the company PresentTree, they launched a campaign to plant a total of 7,610 trees in Yamanashi Prefecture, aiming to create "Naruto's Forest." The project, centered around these numerous trees, will last a total of ten years. The goal is to support the trees in their growth until they can thrive independently.
Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of the series, couldn't resist contributing to this project and specially created illustrations for it, which can be viewed on the website.
For the most dedicated fans, there’s also an opportunity to get involved in the project. They can participate in a raffle, with winners receiving a certificate assigning them a specific tree in "Naruto Forest." A corresponding sign will be placed on the tree so that patrons can later find their tree again. European fans can also rejoice, as participants from all over the world are welcome.
