The series is very well put together but the wait time of three months is just too much to bare for anyone who reads the series. I recommend that you read the series but also buy the next volumes as well, because I guarantee that you'll be wanting more to read after the first one!

The Naruto series has a long storyline which is captivating and really drags the reader into their world. It's full of action and fighting, but with heart appealing storylines such as the Zabuza and Haku plot.

The characters are all very different, each with their own ninja techniques, and there is a fair amount of comedy entangled in there along the way, without being over powering.

The story as of issue 5 is now the ninja are going the the "Ninja exams." Nothing is nearly as epic, you can't evan TELL who the enimies are, and the story doesn't seem to be going anywhere. And if it is, it shouldn.t take 100 chapters to do so. And when I say you can't tell who the enimies are, I don't mean that in the good way where there isn't a clear line between good and evil, there's just an absence of evil. It's just a bunch of mindless fights for these exams. there seems to be some wandering enemy named "Orochimaru" but he never does anything except at one point he bites one of the main characters, which gives him a painful rash then he gets over it the next issue (of course.)
