I have read this before, so this is a re-read. Upon a second read, I really enjoyed it a lot more. So I upped my rating from a 4 to a 5, great introduction to a series and I am so excited to continue on.

My first manga and wanted to know more about Naruto and why he likes it so much. I enjoyed it. Maybe not something I would have picked for myself but I'll read more. It's engaging and I am enjoying the artwork.

Naruto Uzumaki yearns to be acknowledged by his ninja village, but the evil fox spirit sealed into him while he was a child makes him an outcast among his people. Determined to prove himself worthy and to achieve his ambition of becoming the Hokage -- the ninja leader -- Naruto enters training along with the other young ninjas and meets Sasuke and Sakura, whose own ambitions and pains will define his path. With a strong focus on belonging and redemption, this terrific manga series showcases an imaginative parallel world of adventure, humor and strife. -- Hillary D.

So! I read the first volume of Naruto. I did so for three reasons:

1) A former friend recommended it to me yeeeeears ago (seriously, it must have been in 2004, 2005? Something like that) but back then me and manga/anime Just Didn't Work. Now that that has changed I figured I might give it another try, because I really do take recommendations seriously.

2) I kinda sorta spent the whole of yesterday reading Naruto fanfic (Kakashi/Iruka) and I wanted to see what the characters were "really" like.

3) This only cost me 2 Euros.

And what can I say, it was fun? This sort of thing is the perfect lunchtime reading because it isn't exactly challenging but entertaining and one volume is a good length for a lunch break (during which one may also have to make conversation - yes, even as a bookseller). So I may read more of this in the future. I definitely will read more fanfic.
