Advantages: Excellent manga

Disadvantages: nah

For those of you who arent aware, Naruto is a japanese comic book and the best selling at that. This book is a compilation of the first 37 chapters of the manga by author masashi kisimoto. The book is well drawn and well translated which sadly some of the scanlations online are not.

The basic premise of the story is set in a world with rival countries and rival ninja villages that do missions both for money and also to protect their country. The main character is a 12 year old ninja accademy student who, for reasons revealled in the book, is disliked by everyone in the village. The boy lives alone and has no parents, he craves recognition and is constantly shouting about becoming the hokage (head ninja). However he seeks this recognition by acting the fool which only further makes people dislike him. However people soon learn to rely on naruto and value his freindship.

For fear of telling the whole plot of the 400+ chapters which are presently out, I will not give away any more plot, just say that this manga is exceptional with a brilliant story and loveable charecters. This first book is mainly setting up the story and introducing the main characters such as narutos team sakura and sasuke and his teacher kakashi. Each of the characters has great depth and backstory.

This manga has something for everyone and i think thats why it is so popular, it is crammed with plot, character and excellent fight scenes. I would reccomend tis to anyone. For those who are unsure there are plenty of places online where you can read the manga but i would only advise this as a means of trying before you buy.

Summary: brilliant read
