Graphic Novel:
This manga takes place in the fictional village of Konohagakure and follows the adventures of Naruto and several of his classmates as they go through their ninja training. Naruto is a misfit and a troublemaker. He is shunned by most of the villagers because of the demon that's inside of him. When he was just an infant, a nine-tailed fox demon was sealed inside of him because it was too powerful to be killed. Although it wasn't his fault, many villagers place blame for the deaths of those ninja who tried to fight the fox demon. Naruto tries his best to earn the respect of the village by becoming the best ninja he can be, but his antics usually just get him into trouble.This first volume contains 7 chapters in which we meet Naruto, he passes the first test to earn his status as a novice ninja, he meets his new ninja master who will take him through more training, and the two other ninja who will be learning with him: Sasuke and Sakura.

I enjoyed this manga quite a lot. I am somewhat familiar with the series as I've seen quite a few episodes of the anime adaptation (courtesy of my little sister). I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was quite funny and entertaining. Naruto's pranks and mouthiness are highly amusing (even though I had to shake my head at his stupidity most of the time). I'll definitely be reading more of the manga volumes.

Naruto vol. 7 was the 2006 winner of the Quill Award, a consumer-driven awards created to inspire reading while promoting literacy (administered by the Quill Foundation). The series as a whole has made it onto many recommended reading lists, including the

Manga truffé de surprise et de rebondissement. ( )

Read it because my friends flip over it. Not that thrilled. I knew the story and i guess I'm not a manga person. Props for creating a protagonist who isn't likable, though. ( )
