Summary: Fox demon turned ninja!
Review: Long ago, an evil nine tailed fox demon reaked havoc on the Hokage village. When they finnaly subdued the demon, they sealed him away in the body of a newborn child named Naruto. Even though the demon is gone, the adults of the village hate Naruto and see him as a threat. And by influence of the adults, the children hate him too, and they don't even know about his past. So in order to draw some attention to himself, the orphaned Naruto always pull pranks or does some act of vandilism. He knows very well that the entire town hates him and after 12 years he finds out why.
Naruto is a verry good manga created by a verry talented man. It's an action packed and hilarious story about becoming a great ninja. With many supporting charactors such as Sakura his crush, Sasuke his rival, and Kakashi his teacher the series is never boring. Kakashi is exceptionaly enjoyable as the layed back fighter who loves to read "make out paridise".
Though originaly out in shonen jump magazine, Naruto has made it on to graphic novel format so more people can enjoy it.
Well all in all Naruto is a great manga and I highly recamend it!

Summary: Shonen Jump scores again
Review: Naruto is an elegantly drawn graphic novel. It's dynamic panels and intriguing story line keep you reading. The classic appeal of a cheerful boy trying to become a hero will warm your heart.
The great detail, in both story line and art, gives a certain depth that other certain graphic novels lack. Naruto is a great read and it never slows down. Tragic sub stories litter it's pages and gives the novel a unique twist. And with all the tragedy the artist still manages to throw in humor. The comedic aspect is neither lacking nor in surplus. This unique mixture of comedy and tragic depth gives this novel, at least, a head above any other novel.

Summary: Ugh, they killed Naruto
Review: Naruto is my favorite anime series/manga. The manga is about a boy (Naruto)who wants to grow up to be the strongest ninja in his village (Hokage.) Within 20 books, he fights against several strong kids. The action is like Dragon Ball Z, but the pacing is a lot faster. The translations are horrible. The "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu," a technique that creates clones of the caster, becomes "The Art of the Dopple Ganger." Overall, Naruto is an excellent series, but Viz did a horrible job translating the manga. If you can try to download the manga, I know it is wrong with the series being released and all, but Viz or whoever translated the manga did a horrible job in my opinion.

Summary: the best ever
Review: Naruto is one of the best animes ever!!! I already saw up to episode 77.Right now its my favorite.i'm a really BIG fan of Naruto. well,Naruto is about the story of how the nine-tails demon fox got sealed inside of naruto by the 4th hokage.and by doing that the 4th also died because using the technique that he used,the user had to give up his life too.so 13 years later,everyone pretty much hates naruto.all the adults that survived that fight with the demon fox know about it.the 3rd now is the hokage of Konoha,their village.he made a rule saying that the event that took place should never be told to anyone... especially naruto.so the adults hate him right?well all their kis followed in their parents footsteps and also hated naruto, although they don't know about his secret.so naruto grew up pretty much by himself. lonely, huh? and in order to get everyone to acknowledge him,he causes trouble.but he finally found his first person that cares for him alot.that person is his teacher Iruka.and along the way to becoming the best ninja ever,he meets more people who care for him.those people are:his crush,Sakura,his rival,Saske,and his jounin teacher,Kakashi. this is the best anime ever so when ever it comes out,go get it and watch it!!!!!!!!!

But Naruto has a long way to go before then!

Summary: gripping...
Review: naruto, you could say at first glance seems like a tyical shounen manga... a loud-noisy-misbehaving-and-mischievious protagonist, lots of action, fast-paced plot and humor abound. what makes it atypical is that beneath the brash exterior is the hidden soft center. face it, naruto is a bleeding heart in disguise.
naruto is an orphan with a mysterious past who is known as the #1 troublemaker in the shinobi (ninja) village of hidden leaf. the story starts of with him in the midst of a prank, much to the anoyance of the villagers. what we don't know (yet) is why he finds it absolutely imperative to do so... resulting in his behavior. mysteriously, nearly all the adults of hidden leaf is cold and antagonistic towards him, which inadvertently results in his seclusion even amongst kids his age. it doesn't help that naruto isn't exactly the average high achiever at ninja academy, in fact, he has always been the last in his class. studies isn't exactly one of his finer points. the story moves on quickly; his third attempt at graduation exam leads him from one problem to another, all without losing a beat. amidst all the madness and general shunning of the village population, only naruto's homeroom teacher seems to understand what goes on in naruto's head. ironically, this doesn't stop naruto from making trouble for iruka-sensei...
i really do like the artwork in naruto, even if may seems to be unaccustomed to it. after seeing many mangas with generally sparse art, i find the illustrations of this manga to be detailed and lively. the village in the background seems to come alive with daily activities and the combination of modern infrastructure and mystical ninja arts makes an interesting combination. i like that naruto takes place in an alternate universe, and the contrasts of the ancient and new in this world makes it unique and entertaining.
the characters are also very endearing, and one finds it hard not to be attached to at least one of them. in fact, i am fond of a few! although there seems to be stereotypical characterization, somehow none of them seems stale. what makes them special is that each of them has their quirks and depth. and for a cast with ever expanding numbers, i have to tip my hat to the mangaka for making them distinct and personable.
let me warn you though, that while this book is full of hijinks and humor, it also is unexpectedly rife with tear-inducing scenes and angsty undertone. it's one of the few books that could make you cry and laugh at the same moment. i've read nearly all the chapters there is of naruto (currently 200+ and still going on strong), and i have to say it's like that all the way. personally, i won't read this in public coz i know it'll be a tragic day indeed when i laughed at one moment and then burst into tears the next for all and sundry to see.
another quirk concerning this series is that one of the most mentioned about character in this series, the 4th hokage (also called by his other title, yondaime) is a character shrouded in mystery. other than his title and his incredible skills and reputation, hardly anything is known about him, not even his real name. for a character that only appears in flashbacks and conversations his legacy is undoubtedly far reaching and incidentally, he's one of my favorite characters. i'd love to see if kishimoto will dedicate a chapter or two on the 4th hokage, and how he will be portrayed.
naruto is, imho, a true gem in the world of shounen manga, and perhaps even in the world of mangas in general. even after (currently) 24 volumes published in japan, it hasn't lost its freshness, intensity and gripping plot that makes readers clamor for more, yours truly included. quite a feat indeed. this is not a manga to be missed.

Summary: Stop it with the translations complaining, geez...
Review: Reviewer: Jetto from Hattiesburg, MS United States
Viz had to get their translations approved by Masashi Kishimoto, so I don't see what the problem is. Kage bushin no jutsu is 4 japanese WORDS. That's why they changed it. I'd rather them call it Shadow clone technique/art instead of art of the doppleganger myself, but the name change doesen't affect my enjoyment at all. If you're too wrapped up in names to enjoy the manga, then you need help. =/
Sharingan and Kamehameha(since you mentioned dbz) are words created specifically for attacks (however, in kamehameha's case, it was taken from a hawaiian king, heh). Stupid n00b anime/manga fans are ruining things for everyone with their complaining. If you're too cheap to buy an 8 dollar manga novel, then that's fine, but don't try to get other people to do the same unless you have a vaild/worthwhile point. By the way, this volume of naruto rocks. Don't miss it!
