Fans of “Naruto” be rejoicing right about now because although the popular manga officially ended in November 2014, there might be something else to keep your fandom well and alive!

Naruto (ナルト) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto. It tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki, an adolescent ninja who constantly searches for recognition and dreams to become the Hokage, the ninja in his village who is acknowledged as the leader and the strongest of all. The series is based on a one-shot manga by Kishimoto that was published in the August 1997 issue of Akamaru Jump.

Naruto 1

As of September 2014, the manga has over 200 million copies in print, with over 130 million copies in Japan and the remaining 75 million being overseas, making it the third best-selling manga series in history. The manga is also available in 35 countries outside Japan.

After the manga ended in November 2014, Naruto also had its last film titled, “The Last -Naruto the Movie-“, and it has been playing in Japan theatres since 6th December 2014. If that’s a little out of reach for you, fret not, because we hear that there’ll be a Naruto musical/play dubbed, “Live Spectacle Naruto“!
