 Okay, I know, Naruto. Just about everyone knows this now. It's terrible what America has done to a decent series. It is by far one of the most overcensored series I've ever seen. Of course, it's not all bad. Toned down, it is a good series for younger kids and preteens. In any case, this is by far the most popular manga series in the world. In my opinion it is a good series, and even though it has a few rough patches (What story doesn't?) it is a well written and visually interesting series.

The main character, Naruto Uzumaki, has always been shunned as a child. His parents died at a young age, and then there's the whole thing about the nine-tailed demon fox in his belly. That'll ruin your weekend. Anyway, by tradition and the time period, he is currently a ninja in training. He keeps failing and failing, but eventually graduates from the academy. From there he is put into a team, and his journey begins. They all suck badly but get better and stronger at their teamwork as the series progresses. Till Sasuke, the other main character, decides to turn emo and leaves. He's out for revenge against his brother Itachi, for killing his entire clan. After a three year timeskip, Naruto returns from training harshly and the remaining members of the team reform. Later in the series it becomes clear that the main Antagonist is a masked man named Madara, who is leader of the infamous organization Akatsuki (In my opinion, these guys are some of the greatest villains ever spawned by the human mind.). Everything up till the current spot in the series propels them into a full scale worldwide ninja war against Madara.
