Summary: Naruto is one foxy dude!
Comment: "Naruto," while not an all-time favorite, is a great, funny manga series that everyone should give a read. It is a wacky Ninja tale, complete with magic nine-tailed foxes and secret ninja techniques. Anyone looking for even a grain of historical accuracy should look elsewhere, as "Naruto" is just about the hijinks. Definitely nothing subtle here, just "pie-in-the-face" style of humor and laughs.
This first volume, "The Tests of the Ninja," lays the groundwork, including Naruto's origin and the cast of supporting characters. While stereotypes abound, each is interesting enough and offers some unique drama.
The art is nice, although not groundbreaking, and suits the funky story. Viz's decision to run the book in the correct way, right to left, is really appreciated as the artwork can be original an un-flipped as it is in most English-translated manga series.
One note: as someone who has read both the Japanese version and the English, the translation is excellent. No worries there.

Summary: Stop complaining about translations, geez
Comment: Viz had to get their translations approved by Masashi Kishimoto, so I don't see what the problem is. Kage bushin no jutsu is 4 japanese WORDS. That's why they changed it. I'd rather them call it Shadow clone technique/art instead of art of the doppleganger myself, but the name change doesen't affect my enjoyment at all. If you're too wrapped up in names to enjoy the manga, then you need help. =/
Sharingan and Kamehameha(since you mentioned dbz) are words created specifically for attacks (however, in kamehameha's case, it was taken from a hawaiian king, heh).
Stupid n00b anime/manga fans are ruining things for everyone with their complaining. If you're too cheap to buy an 8 dollar manga novel, then that's fine, but don't try to get other people to do the same unless you have a vaild/worthwhile point.
By the way, this volume of naruto rocks. Don't miss it!
