Art of Naruto: Uzumaki

Ordered this with the other naruto artbooks and all I can say is that this one is overall my favourite, the paper is good quality and each page looks amazing. At the back of the book theres a section where the author talks about each art piece (color spreads and manga volume covers) and his thoughts creating them. This was my favourite part of the artbook flipping back and forth to see what details he's referring to. The other naruto artbooks sadly dont have such content only with 1 sentence comments on each piece which is too bad. If you're trying to decide among one of the Naruto artbooks to buy you should 100% get this one 5/5 stars

Spedizione ottima come sempre, pacco arrivato in perfette condizioni. Questo è un Art Book da collezionare insieme agli altri e due. Di ottima fattura, le parti scritte anche se in inglese sono facilmente traducibili. Allego le foto del fronte, del retro e di alcune pagine interne.

I grew up with naruto and so this artbook, in a way flashes my childhood before me. So, I was very nostalgic while viewing each and every artwork. I liked the interview section with Masashi Kishimoto. Amazing! Just fulfilling...

This was the last artbook I needed to complete my Naruto collection. Hoping to see more with Boruto! The artbook itself is perfect and very sizeable.

Kishimoto Masashi's /Naruto/ art book is just as it sounds: Another manga \ pictures from the creator art book. It's been done before. The only people who would probably appreciate it are art students interested in comics, or fans of the popular Naruto series. However, for those who do buy this book, well, it's beautiful, to say the very least. The book separated into sections, each containing a poem or snippet I assume was written by Kishimoto-san. For the publishers, VIZ Media, what I praise most about this book is the fact that they left the original Japanese print that went along with some of the pictures and translated off to the side. For some, this might be a nuisance, but for a student of the language, it's a good way to test themselves. Now, onto the book itself. Most of the pictures are cover spreads or pictures that have appeared on the cover of /Shonen Jump/ magazine. Thus, they have more than likely been seen by fans before. However, these pictures are uninterrupted by the text that goes on the covers of that magazine, and have - in the back of the book, sort of like the index - an explanation from Kishimoto-san himself explaining the thought processes and work that went into every picture. The art showcases pictures drawn up to volume twenty-four of the manga. The extras include an interview with Kishimoto-san basically speaking more of the creation of Naruto and ideas he puts into motion. Also, there is a step-by-step feature of how to draw the front cover using the same tools as Kishimoto-san himself. In the end, this book is a great buy for Naruto fans and those who want to learn from Kishimoto-san's style. Or for those who just respect the art. However, in the end, it was made for fans of the series, just as all manga art books are.
