review:
'Naruto, Vol. 01: Uzumaki Naruto' by Masashi Kishimoto with translation by Katy Bridges is a collection of comics from the early days of the manga in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1999.
Naruto is a fox spirit forced to be a boy. He is mocked because he has no parents and he loves to play pranks. He wants to be a warrior and he loves ramen, especially if one of his teachers buys it. He is also failing his classes because he can't create a doppelganger. His solutions to problems are comical and unusual, and he can even surprise himself sometimes.
I have a small familiarity with this character, but I enjoyed this look at his origins. There are author notes throughout and the art does improve as the book goes along. It's a bit rough to start, but you can see the beginnings of a great story idea.
I received a review copy of this manga from VIZ Media and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.
