In a secret ninja village, a young orphan is ostracised by the people around him for an unknown reason. Determined to prove them all wrong, this young boy fights against all odds to surpass them all and become the greatest leader the villlage has ever known. His name is Naruto Usumaki and this is his story...

This week on Manga Tak, Mat is joined by professional chef Andrea Piras to serve up the last of the big 3: Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto. Join us as we discuss how we both discovered the book as kids, how we feel it compares to the other titles that make up the 'big 3' before asking the ultimate question: would we recommend this book to a young reader today?
