I was really into it when I was 12 because I did not know better. Now, I just really want to punch everyone in the book and protect the women characters from the author.

IT WAS OKAY, I GUESS? I have definitely read better shonen manga, but I guess I've read worse too. Naruto falls in that weird this-is-so-bland-I-literally-don't-have-any-emotions-about-it-other-than-huh category.

Honestly, I wasn't impressed with the 14 episodes of the anime my last boyfriend forced me to watch, but I'll give this series a shot if it stops people from recommending it to me because I ended up enjoying the overly long trainwreck that is Bleach.

Naruto is adorable, and his cast of characters is strong and fun. I know this gets darker and serious but here it's just a romp and I love every panel.

I enjoyed this manga more for the art and characters then for the dialog or plot.

Naruto is the manga that got me into manga for a while. I was obsessed. For that I am thankful. However, I stopped really reading it after the Chuunin exam.
