Manga like Naruto: 6 series to read in English

Naruto is about Naruto Uzumaki. He is a loud orphan at the ninja academy of the Hidden Leaf Village, and most adults there treat him with cold contempt for a reason he does not know. The picks below are the series on Mangainfo that share the most themes and genres with Naruto in AniList's tags and have English volumes out, with the more popular series winning a close call. All volume counts here are as of October 2026.

Bleach

Like Naruto, Bleach is built on super powers and a coming of age story. It also leans on henshin. The genres match exactly too: action, adventure and supernatural. Tite Kubo is the author.

Ichigo Kurosaki is fifteen. He has orange hair and a short temper. He can also see ghosts. One night a Soul Reaper named Rukia Kuchiki turns up in his bedroom.

Bleach is finished in Japan at 74 volumes. All 74 are out in English. That makes it complete, so you can read it start to finish today.
