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.

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.

I honestly was lost for about 80% of this book but my students love the series and I had to give it a try. I wasn’t expecting so much swearing.

I knew of the anime frist, and initially thought it was stupid. Then, with nothing to read, I gave it a try. I don't like when there are dumb, perverted jokes, like there was in this first volume, but as the series continues the frequency of this drops. The action and plot capivates me, and I love the good guys (most of the time) and sometimes even sympathize for the bad guys. It's worth reading.

I’m interested in the second Volume. So I will continue.

This was a really fun start to this series.
