Book Reviews of Naruto, Volume 1
Book Review: This is one Rockin' Manga
Summary: 5 Stars
Naruto is one of the coolest mangas I've read, and plan to read more. It has great art, and a great story. It may seem kinda cheesy in the beginning, but give it a chance, because it gets TONS better, and more exciting further into the series.
And the best part is that the anime is coming to the US, I just hope they do a decent job on the dub.
Book Review: Read up
Summary: 5 Stars
Hey,guess what.Naruto is coming here on a plane called Cartoon Network and until then read,read,read.Anyway it is a great book that depicts ninjas as ordinary people (except for Naruto) trying to make it to the big leages of ninja ranks.There is a lot of course ninjutsu unlike you would ever imagin,using hand signal for signs of the Zodiac.Buy it and be warned.You will be a Naruto fan too.Book Review: Naruto the kid with a dream
Summary: 5 Stars
Well I loved this manga! it was funny and plenty of action when they meet Kakashi! Mostly this one is to introduce the characters and why they are and what they act like! No basic acton only with Mizuki and Kakashi! But I can't wait to pick up the next one! I kinda recommend this one to those who love mangas and ninja action!Book Review: ANIMAL SPIRITS AND NINJAS
Summary: 2 Stars
12 years ago, Konohagakure, a village famous for its inhabitants, who just happen to be the greatest ninja in the world, was attacked by a nine-tailed fox demon. A village hero named Hokage was able to arise, and imprisoned the demon's soul, but lost his life in the effort. All of the young students in training at the Ninja Academy see Hokage as a model to which they aspire. One of these students is Naruto, whose disregard for the past extends to defacing monuments of the village heroes because he feels he is more powerful. His greatest ability is the "ninja centerfold technique" in which he can make an illusion of a naked woman dressed in mist to distract his opponents. He causes a lot of messes because he wants attention. He has no home or parents, and the entire village dislikes him. Only his tutor Iruka, who tries to control his excesses, shows some caring for Naruto. Maybe Naruto isn't just full of himself. Perhaps he does hold a power greater than that of Hokage.
I have to admit, I am usually leery of anything with the words Shonen Jump on it. I decided to give Naruto a go anyway. The art was great, but it just all seemed a tad too kid oriented for me. It's mostly about people yelling and hitting each other and the characters are about as shallow as a one inch deep pond. There's really nothing here. I would recommend this manga to 12 year olds and below.
Book Review: A must-buy for shonen manga fans!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a girl,but I'm a big fan of shonen manga and this is one of my favorite mangas.I'd have to seriously think about if I like Rave Master or Naruto better.Anyway,I'm a big Naruto fan,and I think that most people would love this manga.For those of us who are squemish,like I am a bit,you may end up having the same first impression that I did: 'It's too bloody'.Some of the scenes are bloody,but this is still an excellent manga title.I read the entire title at the store before buying it because I was so absorbed in it.After I finished,I just couldn't wait to get volumes two and three.I believe that this series has realistic characters,given the situation,a feat a lot of manga-ka cannot acommplish.Naruto, for starters,is a young prankster who is detirmined to try his hardest at his set task.Naruto has a rivalry with SasukeHis dream is to surpass all who come before him and to become the leader of his village.Sasuke is smart and strong.He is detirmined to kill a 'mystery' ninja and avenge himself. Normally calm and collected,he appears stronger than Naruto at times.Sakura has a large crush on Sasuke,who,in return,ignores her.Naruto has a crush on her.She is extremely smart,although she doesn't really fight.Even though she is the weakest of the three,she is a likeable character.
All in all,this is a great manga,with great action.My friend says that he has trouble understanding the fight scenes,so I guess that should be a warning to most.For those of you who purchase and end up liking this manga,the anime is coming to Cartoon Network in September.
