I want everyone to know that naruto is a great story for every age. The guts to never give up and never surrender. I get such a boner thinking about it, I mean right now I have a huge woody. Back to naruto and my raging boner later, every kid should read it, it is amazing.
Naruto, by Kishimoto Masashi July 22, 2009

This was the first manga I ever read (as well as the first anime I watched), so it naturally holds a special place in my heart. And I still love it. The manga is definately better than the anime, and if you're looking for a well-written manga with detailed, excellent artwork--I'd highly recommend Naruto!

If you're one of the many `Narutards' religiously following the anime, you won't see much of a difference between that and Masashi Kishimoto's original work (though you wouldn't be a true Narutard if you didn't read it). If anything, the manga leaves some gaps the anime fills in, especially in action scenes. And the renaming of ninja techniques will still piss off purists. It's still worth it to read about Kishimoto's experience with the manga in the brief snippets and concept art wedged between each chapter. Believe it!
This comic is rated T for Teen: Graphic Violence.
 Giving this a try to see what all the hype is about May 17, 2009

Aficionados of pop culture can't make it through the course of a day without hearing/seeing reference to 'Naruto.' After putting off this series for years I finally decided to give this one a shot and blazed through Volume #1 of Masashi Kishimoto's seminal 'Naruto' manga series.
First impressions left me semi-interested. The story and concept is intriguing enough to keep me going at least a few more volumes to gauge whether or not I'm going to plow this series in its entirety. As fas as art goes my main complaint is that the action sequences (long fight chapters) can be difficult to follow at times. Also, based on this 1 book the overall tone feels seems to skew toward a younger audience so keep that in mind if you're wondering whether or not to take a chance with this series.
Excellent Manga. March 17, 2009

Six years ago I began watching the Naruto series in Japanese with English subtitles.
Six years later I still keep up with it, and now I've started to invest in the manga series.
This first book is brilliant. The art, the storyline, the characters. It is the beginning of an era, and while I remember being slightly bored by this series until the Chuunin exams, I now find these first novels to be entirely captivating. You'll meet Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura; you'll love these characters and witness their first challenge of gratuating school and becoming full-fledged ninja.
There will be scenes in the manga that didn't make the anime, and things in the anime that didn't make the manga. All in all I think it's a worthy to invest in them both. In between each chapter you will find concept art and meet the writer behind the series.
Buy this series. If it doesn't captivate you immediately have no fear because I initially felt the same way. You soon will.
