Naruto’s rival, cuter than you’re ever seen him before!
Uchiha Sasuke, the brooding loner who will do anything to avenge his clan and kill his older brother… Yes, this is that story, but with a hilarious twist! In Naruto: Chibi Sasuke’s Sharingan Legend, the characters and story have been flipped on their heads, all for the sake of comedy! With his Taka teammates Suigetsu, Karin and Jugo, Sasuke travels the land and gets into all kinds of wacky adventures. This is a side of Sasuke you’ve never seen before. One bit of advice: do not mock the Uchiha!
Elite ninja Uchiha Sasuke travels the land with his teammates searching for his brother Itachi. Can Sasuke stay out of trouble—and kindergarten—long enough to actually get his revenge?!
Masashi Kishimoto (岸本斉史 Kishimoto Masashi) is a Japanese manga artist, well known for creating the manga series Naruto. His younger twin brother, Seishi Kishimoto, is also a manga artist and creator of the manga series O-Parts Hunter (666 Satan) and Blazer Drive. Two of his former assistants, Osamu Kajisa (Tattoo Hearts) and Yuuichi Itakura (Hand's), have also gone on to moderate success following their work on Naruto.
Kishimoto's first work as a manga artist was Karakuri (カラクリ?), which he submitted to Shueisha in 1995. This earned him the Weekly Shōnen Jump's monthly "Hop Step Award" in 1996, granted to promising new manga artists. This was followed in 1997 by a pilot version of Naruto (NARUTO-ナルト-), published in Akamaru Jump Summer. In 1998, Kishimoto premiered as a Weekly Shōnen Jump artist with a serialized version of Karakuri in Weekly Shōnen Jump, but it proved unpopular and was canceled soon after. In 1999, a serialized version of Naruto began publication in Weekly Shōnen Jump and quickly became a hit.
The final volume on this Chibi series starring Sasuke! I think this was a very good idea that was executed well. I think three volumes is also the perfect amount to dabble here and then leave it alone. Going too long can be a curse as well. This lighthearted series works best if you have read the entire Naruto series before ever starting. Some jokes like Sasuke's water style had me rolling on the ground. Good potty humor and the book itself does not take itself too seriously. A fun romp that all Naruto fans should at least give a try.
Overall a nice conclusion to the trilogy. To be honest I really hate the last parts of all 3 books because they explain you how to go to that damn expo like you are brain dead.
The randomness and jokes continue... and finally end. Again, overall, the series is hit and miss, as it is with most gag manga. Give it a try, if you like it, continue reading (and check out other series like it). If not, you're not really missing out on anything.
