It’s the end of an era in the world of Japanese comics, or manga.

Naruto, the manga series about a spunky boy ninja who wants to be Hokage, will be ending in just a few short days. Naruto [5] is written by Masashi Kishimoto, and it was first published in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine back in 1999. Along with the manga series Bleach [6], One Piece [7], and many others, Naruto is arguably one of the shonen manga that have defined Japanese comics for a generation.

Many other series, such as Attack on Titan [8] or another series, may replace Naruto, but only time will tell who comes out on top in the end.
 
To celebrate the end of this long-running series, why not attend a manga or anime club [9] at your nearest DC Public Library location?  DC Public Library has these programs at various libraries all over the city, including the new Manga Madness [10] program at Tenley Library. All of them act as a place for fans of manga and anime to get together and talk about what they love. 

We hope to see you there!
