Categories: shonen, battle, ninja
One Manga ranking: 1
My rating: *** (3/5)
Naruto is one of the most popular mangas, both in the US and in Japan. The main character is Uzumaki Naruto. He's possessed by the nine-tailed fox spirit, and shunned by the other ninjas in his village. His dream is to show them all he's a great ninja and become Hokage.
( OM Synopsis, My Rating )
[Note: My rating system essentially works like this: 0/5 = absolutely worthless and horrible. 1/5 = unoriginal, why read this when you could read something better?. 2/5 = I'll read it if nothing else is available. 3/5 = I read it regularly. 4/5 = I follow it regularly and really love it. 5/5 = ZOMG THE AWESOME!]
[Edit: I am not trying to be harsh on Naruto. I just feel very neutral about it. I will try and write this better when I am less sleepy. Apologies to the Naruto fans who are probably not reading this, but could be.]
