Naruto Vol. 1 by Masashi Kishi­moto is a fun and quick read. This one was another manga title rec­om­mended to me.  The story fol­lows Naruto and his antics. He’s always get­ting into trou­ble. Here a description:

Naruto must pass the dif­fi­cult test to enter the Ninja Acad­emy; deal with his rival, Kono­hamaru; and learn to get along with his new class­mates, Sasuke and Sakura. Assigned to a three-person team, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura must sur­vive a bru­tal test against their upper-level ninja instruc­tor, Kakashi. Only two can pass — will Naruto be one of them?

Naruto, Vol. 1 I love Naruto. Naruto grew up an orphan in the Vil­lage. He is always seek­ing out atten­tion and recog­ni­tion from oth­ers by his antics. He’s a reg­u­lar prankster. How­ever, many know his true ori­gins and the rela­tion­ship between him­self and the nine-tailed fox demon that was defeated in the vil­lage twelve years earlier. There’s a rea­son why the vil­lagers shun him and treat him like an outcast. Meanwhile, Naruto decides to be a Ninja and goes to acad­emy to train. The story arcs con­tinue to flow from that point on and the action picks up big time.

There is plenty of action and humor to make this yet another favorite series of mine. Yet another manga title rec­om­mended by an online pal. Another good title to start with if your inter­ested in read­ing manga. Must warn you that there are cur­rently 15 books in this series thus far. I think. This series is action-oriented if that’s your thing and did I men­tion fun? I love the art­work in here, love Naruto and his pranks and deep down inside, he’s just mis­un­der­stood but he has a heart of gold. My grade, B+.
