Konohamaru loved manga. He loved to see the flowing black lines, the impossible plots, and the strange characters. It was a joy.
The day Konohamaru met Naruto was the day Konohamaru gave up his manga.
He gave them all up, despite his grandfather's annoyance at having wasted so much money. Konohamaru didn't need manga anymore. He didn't need to wish that the brave and tragic heroes existed anymore because he found his own real-life brave and tragic hero.
The day Naruto died Konohamaru didn't go back to his manga.
Because by then, Konohamaru was old enough to understand these heroes could never exist.
