Book Review: Naruto
December 3, 2025
A great series for those looking to get into manga, very accessible. Highly recommended for those looking for some fast paced ninja action.

Rather than being a single perspective, it flicks from interviews with the Hero’s party to flashbacks from the members themselves.
Bugle Call shows the full breadth of the war that our characters fight in to get a birds-eye view while it maintains a blistering pace.
Urana’s excellent art brings this dynamic world to life. The character designs are insanely cool, with drapey clothes and bizarre weapons.
With soft and dreamy art, stark blacks and gentle shading, the night comes alive as our leading duo explore their town by starlight.
A delightfully goofy, tropey romantic comedy, this manga wormed its way into my heart before I even realised.
Simultaneously a biography, an inside story of the manga industry and a look at how Junji Ito creates his stories, this is a fascinating read.
An uplifting, wholesome series about the joy of travelling,the fear of new things and navigating different environments as queer adults.
This is a series that doesn’t try to break new ground – instead, it wants to craft something simple and do it very very well.
A chilling vision of humanities’ future, it blends claustrophobic, grungy cityscapes with an unsettling narrative of poverty and desperation.
While it does have a fair share of combat, most conflict is solved without violence, leading to creative and interesting solutions.
As a casual manga reader, I found the series was free of some of the intense tropes that have at times alienated me when reading other series.
If you want a series that you can commit to, this is the perfect one. It’s funny, emotional and intense, all at the same time.
The story is exquisitely paced, with moments of calm that linger until stagnant, or fight scenes that roar along at breakneck speeds.
It combines goofy wholesome humour with a large helping of emotional character development and fast-paced fantasy action.
Creeping atmosphere, intricately detailed designs and a disconcerting feeling of solitude all come together in this incredible horror manga.
Paired with sharp wit and soft art, this is a relaxing story about belonging, different types of love and the power of taking things slow.
Utterly existential, ‘To Your Eternity’ tackles one very heavy question: What would life be like for an immortal?
While the starting premise is pretty absurd, the story soon develops into a heartwarming and hilarious story…
With body-swapping, paranormal shenanigans and hilarious comedy, this series takes tropes and twists them on their heads.
