When did the very first chapter of the Naruto manga series release? Well, if you went on a month long search through the internet with that question, you'd come up with this answer: "Late 1999". Or maybe if you got lucky an "October 1999". But, what if you wanted the exact date? Or what about a date for the second chapter? Or maybe you wanted to see if a chapter ever released on your birthday. However you put it, if someone wanted any more information on these release dates than "Chapter #1 = Late 1999", they wouldn't have an answer. Why? Because there's only 1 way to know these dates, and that's to actually own each and every issue of Shonen Jump Weekly since Naruto's first appearence in "Late 1999".

I may be missing about 3 issues, but I have nearly every issue of Shonen Jump Weekly since January 1st 1999. With them, I've compiled a list of the original release dates for each chapter of the Naruto manga series. This is something you will find NOWHERE else on the web. Believe me, we've looked. We searched through 1,000s of Naruto websites; Nothing even came close. And hey, if you do see this information on another website, you'll know where it came from :).

Right, so how is this information listed? Well, it should be pretty self explanatory, but I'll explain it anyways. On the Left column, we have the number of the Naruto manga chapter. To the right of that, in the middle column, we have the actual dates these chapters were released. Some of the chapters will have 2 dates, which is because of how Shonen Jump Weekly releases their issues. And this just wouldn't be N2 without some cool pictures on the page! So in the rightest most column we have pictures scanned in right from the Shonen Jumps these dates are coming from! Remember, in Shonen Jump Weekly all the colored pages are left intact. Enjoy!
