Naruto, Vol. 1: Uzumaki Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto

---

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.
