The Emotional Struggles of Naruto (No, Not That Naruto) | Renge to Naruto! Review

What happens when a manga character is named Naruto… but has nothing to do with ninjas?

In this video, I review Renge to Naruto, a quiet slice-of-life manga that explores emotional distance, subtle character growth, and the slow development of human connection. Despite sharing a name with the iconic Naruto Uzumaki, this Naruto couldn’t be more different — introverted, reserved, and defined by silence rather than shouting.

This manga review and video essay breaks down:

The emotional struggles of Naruto (no, not that Naruto)

How Renge acts as the emotional heart of the story

Why quiet slice-of-life storytelling can be just as powerful as action-heavy manga
