Viz Media has announced the release of a limited (to 5,000) edition Naruto Manga Shadow Box (MSRP $189.95), which will include all 27 volumes in the first arc of Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto manga in a special individually-numbered wooden display box. Extras in the set include a special mini-manga of the 'proto-chapter' of the first Naruto story ever published, a preview of Volume 28, a two-sided color poster, collectible graphic novel stickers, and a Naruto trading card exclusive to Viz Media.

The release of the box set is the culmination of Naruto Nation, a broad-based marketing campaign that coincided with an increased frequency of publication that will allow the U.S. publications to catch up with the Japanese Naruto manga by the end of the year.  The Naruto Manga Shadow Box will only be available at select major book retailers and through the Viz Media online store.
