✴️ NARUTO ナルト ✴️ Informal Book Club (Parts I+II)

I’d love to join!!

YAY! Are you starting from the beginning or have you already read some before?

読んだことないけどね…それでもどうなってるか理解できると思う?

見なかったわこれ

ってこと、初めから読んでいくの?

“Just Do Whatever”
-Masashi Kishimoto, probably

(Also, discussion of specific moments in the comic can go in the arc threads linked in the home post!)

Put this image+questions under a spoiler, hayday.

Also, read the Japanese version :relieved:

It’s not unheard of for kids to try attending school early, examples being Kakashi and Itachi becoming jounin before most other kids were even genin. Also, kinda giving Kishimoto the benefit of the doubt here because he was still figuring out the details as he was writing :smile:

The English translation is genuinely bad

Wow… notpaydaytime :pensive_face:

If you can read electronically, BookWalker has every volume for about $3-4 each. The first chapter is also free to read on BW if you want to get a taste before deciding to purchase.

I absolutely advise against finding alternate websites that may allow you to read manga for free :man_gesturing_no: :x: :no_entry: There are lots of them and it can be difficult to avoid them so try your best :prohibited: :woman_gesturing_no: :japanese_prohibited_button: Do not look these up no matter what :head_shaking_horizontally:

I’m afraid I can’t spend any money

EDIT: $60 NARUTO 全巻セット | Shop at Mercari from Japan! | Buyee

Oh no :frowning: Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you don’t turn to one of the many easily accessible free manga reading websites that I cannot link here for legality purposes but that you might accidentally stumble across via Google :pensive: :no_entry: That would be very bad to do

$204.33 :nauseated_face: BookOFF would never allow this smh

Haha that’s an amazing way to get hooked! Mine is a lil bit more cringier. I remember my older brother watching it and I got some glimpses here and there. But what actually made me watch it for real was that I got hooked on a Naruto AMV to «In The End - Linking park» :face_with_peeking_eye:

Um… so… I might have used free manga sites before… or might not have… hehe… :cowboy_hat_face:

Naruto AMVs brought me to a lot of great music :saluting_face: You are in good company

There are a bunch of licensed ones though where you can read for free… why not rec those?

Well, I can’t rec something I don’t know about :smile: What are your suggested licensed reading websites?

Copying these over from other posts so hopefully they’re easier to find in the future

  • Jump+ (app, Shonen Jump manga mostly)
  • LINE Manga (a variety)
  • YanJan+ (Young Jump manga)
  • Comic Days (Afternoon/Morning/etc brand manga)
  • Bookwalker (often has free to read)

This site specifically shows where to buy digital copies of JoJo, but some of the 45+ online retailers listed when you scroll down probably have free chapters or volumes of Naruto

Nice, thanks! Looks like all of these are Japan-only except for BookWalker, but the BW deals can be really excellent every now and then so I will remember to recommend it more often. I’ll put the other options in the top post just in case another Japan resident is interested :saluting_face:

It’s not like vpns are illegal in most countries. I know jump plus isn’t limited to Japan either though
