I have been wanting to read this series for a long time. Naruto deserves the world and I love him. His backstory is tragic and he’s such a good underdog. Sasuke is such an edgy bitch and I love that for him. Sakura is the worst written female character I’ve ever read. I hate her, she mocks Naruto for being an orphan to another orphan I don't understand it. Since I have already seen the series and just began reading the manga, I already know the main storyline. However, reading the book is much more gratifying! There are many details that I missed or overlooked because they weren't included in the anime. Art work is very detailed, particularly backgrounds. It's gorgeous and you can tell a lot of effort was put into it. Kakashi will always be my favorite character! I can not wait to pick up the next book. ( )

When I discovered anime I preferred Bleach over Naruto. Naruto is very cool and all but from what I can remember I hated Sasuke and (pink haired girl). Naruto with all his teachers were where my interest lied...
