Did Naruto Get You Into Manga Too?
It isn’t perfect but I would be lying if I said it isn’t one of my all time favorite series. It’s because of Naruto that I discovered what anime was and that it came from Japan. It’s the series that got me into manga & I’ll always love it. #Naruto20Th #Naruto pic.twitter.com/Gzr1m1o3BG
