Naruto Shippuden Box Set 37 Review

Naruto Shippuden Box Set 37 is… not the final release of the series, despite the first volume of its sequel series being released after it. What Box 37 IS though is the final few episodes of adapted manga material, and the finale of the long… LONG Fourth Great Shinobi War story arc. How does it hold up? Well…
