Ratings and reviews

The first three volumes were well made, everything after that was too commercialized. A lot like dragon ball. The fans of this long running manga are scary, its just a show guys.

Great volume.But can you reduce the price per manga,because im a manga addict so once i start on a series,ill buy the whole volume but i dont think i can afford all 72 volumes...thats like 700 bucks- Many people prefer watching the anime series on youtube or pirated websites but i prefer the authenticity(dont know if its a word) of reading a manga especially when im staying at home 24/7 :/

Overrated, also not as good as most people claim it to be and pretty average for a shonen and has cliché written all over it. I'd recommend something else like attack on titan, death note or the boruto manga (I don't care if whiny narutards flag me)

About the author

Author/artist Masashi Kishimoto was born in 1974 in rural Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Like many kids, he was first inspired to become a manga artist in elementary school when he read Dragon Ball. After spending time in art college, he won the Hop Step Award for new manga artists with his story Karakuri. After considering various genres for his next project, Kishimoto decided on a story steeped in traditional Japanese culture. His first version of Naruto, drawn in 1997, was a one-shot story about fox spirits; his final version, which debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, quickly became the most popular ninja manga in the world. The series would also spawn multiple anime series, movies, novels, video games and more. Having concluded the series in late 2014, Masashi Kishimoto has kept himself busy this year with the side story Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring and writing the story for the latest Naruto movie, Boruto: Naruto the Movie, both of which will focus on the title character's son, Boruto.
