Naruto

Summary:

Genre/Themes: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Comedy, Ninjas, Shonen

Series History: Originally created by Masashi Kishimoto in 1999, Naruto was first published in the 43rd volume of Japans Weekly Shonen Jump. Since then it has developed a near-cult following and is published and shown in numerous contries around the world. It first aired in Tokyo (TV Tokyo) on Octobre 3, 2002, the US (Cartoon Network) on Septembre 10, 2005, Canada (YTV) on Septembre 16 2005 and the UK (Jetix) July 22, 2006 among many others. It has so far completed 407 chapters (as of 01-07-08) which are split off into 43 volumes. The anime series was split into two parts, the first, Naruto, ending after nine series and it's current sequal, Naruto: Shipuuden, still running.

Overview: Naruto closely follows the life of a boy who is feared and detested by the villagers of the hidden leaf village of Konoha. The distrust of the boy has little to do with the boy himself, but it’s what’s inside him that causes anxiety. Long before Naruto came to be, a Kyuubi (demon fox) with great fury and power waged war taking many lives. The battle ensued for a long time until a man known as the Fourth Hokage, Yondaime, the strongest ninja in Konoha, fiercely fought the Kyuubi. The fight was soon won by Yondaime as he sealed the evil demon in a human body. Thus the boy, Naruto, was born. As Naruto grows he decides to become the strongest ninja in Konoha in an effort to show everyone that he is not as they perceive him to be, but is a human being worthy of love and admiration. But the road to becoming Hokage, the title for the strongest ninja in Konoha, is a long and arduous one. It is a path filled with betrayal, pain, and loss; but with hard work, Naruto may achieve Hokage.

When is it released?: Most of the time the chapter is available Friday and sometimes as early as Thursday evening.
