SHUEISHA warns people about fake Kishimoto Masashi X (Twitter) account

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

SHUEISHA took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to post two messages from the Naruto Boruto X account and the NARUTO Official X account that the twitter account @kishimotomasshi is not an official account, despite it showing an X verification mark.

Kishimoto Masashi is the creator and mangaka of the popular manga series “NARUTO”.
