Despite his ambition to become the greatest ninja ever known in a village full of shinobi warrior-magicians, young Naruto starts the series as the town pariah, and must fight to gain the respect of his peers and teachers -- each a study in comic emotional imbalance -- all in a world full of treachery, nine-tailed fox demons, and free-flying shuriken the size of manhole covers. |

 Uta Kata |
Buy | A very quiet Ichika is attending Kamakura Girl High School with her three friends, Satsuki who had a sturdy mind, Keiko who was a gentle girl, and Michiru who has something mysterious about her. On the last day of the first term, on her way home with her friends, Ichika realizes that she has lost her cellphone with its special treasured charm, so she hurries back to school. She finds her cellphone but it appears to be on the other side of a large, ancient mirror. A cute, friendly young girl appears in the mirror, offering to return the item in exchange for a simple promise: Ichika has to do the summer homework for this girl who came into this world for "sightseeing". And so begins the summer friendship between Ichika and Manatsu and the story of their magical adventures, for the 12 stones in Ichika's charm have turned into magical stones to summon elemental djinns. |
