Naruto, my first introduction to anime/manga. I owe it a lot.

Naruto is a boy who lives in the village of Konoha but has been a complete outcast since he was a baby. The reason this is so is because 12 years ago the Nine Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konoha, and the Hokage at the time (the village leader) sacrificed his life to seal the spirit of the fox into baby Naruto. Because of this Naruto has been shunned all his life. He has no family, and no body notices him.

We first see him painting graffiti all over the Hokage's Monument, causing as much trouble as he can so that somebody acknowledges his existance. He is 12 years old, lonely, and trying to graduate from Ninja Academy.

Naruto is a story about him and Team 7, consisting of Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke and Sakura. It expands on their stories and there is heaps of character development. Every week I patiently wait on Thursday for Dattebayo's release of Naruto, and every weekend for Inane's release of the manga. I love all the characters, I love the music - T. Masuda is a genius in my opinion. It is a funny manga, a funny anime, and I love them both. I have also managed somehow to combine both of the reviews.

Highly recommended - 4/5 Stars!!!
