Naruto to the Rescue
A new addition to the Terronez collection is the manga series Naruto. In volume 1, Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto, begins the action-packed manga saga of a twelve-year-old boy undergoing the tests of the ninja in his home village. He is a showoff, a klutz, and an unpopular young man, yet hidden within him is a terrible power – a nine-tailed fox demon that once claimed the life of the village’s greatest champion. Cleverly written and wonderfully drawn, Naruto doesn’t fail to deliver in the action department, yet offers a strong dose of comedy, making this journey extremely enjoyable. So, all you anime fans make sure you check out Naruto from the Terronez Library Media Center.
