I'm finally starting Naruto! I was never too interested in the ninja theme, so I always pushed it away. I ended up surprised by how into it I was from just the first volume. Naruto is a character I already care about. I feel bad for him, living without parents and being the village reject because of something he can't even help. It really made me feel for him, so I want to see this kid go far and make it to the top. Also the ninja elements are actually pretty interesting. I'd like to see more of what this series has in store.
