About the Author

Author/artist Masashi Kishimoto was born in 1974 in rural Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Like many kids, he was first inspired to become a manga artist in elementary school when he read Dragon Ball. After spending time in art college, he won the Hop Step Award for new manga artists with his story Karakuri. After considering various genres for his next project, Kishimoto decided on a story steeped in traditional Japanese culture. His first version of Naruto, drawn in 1997, was a one-shot story about fox spirits; his final version, which debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1999, quickly became the most popular ninja manga in the world. The series would also spawn multiple anime series, movies, novels, video games and more. Having concluded the series in late 2014, Masashi Kishimoto has kept himself busy this year with the side story Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring and writing the story for the latest Naruto movie, Boruto: Naruto the Movie, both of which will focus on the title character’s son, Boruto.

Takashi Yano won the Shosetsu Subaru Newcomer Award in 2008 with Jashu. He has published a number of works as an expert on period dramas. In addition to the Naruto novelizations, Shikamaru’s Story and Itachi’s Story: Daylight/Midnight, he is broadening the sphere of his work with other novelizations such as Street Fighter.

how can you not love Shikamaru??

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2022

Verified Purchase

im a huge anime fan. out of all the anime ive watched, Nara Shikamaru is my favorite character. i enjoy reading fanfics, but this book is a real analysis of who Shikamaru really is. many fanfics paint him to be more outgoing and unintentionally superior, when in fact, he is a quiet super low key loner chain-smoking kinda dude, speaking only when needed, spending much of his time evaluating his crazy smart thoughts. his effortless intelligence is highlighted in the book and is a reflection of who he truly is. wish there were more shikatema and shikadai moments, but i love the sneak peeks into his family dynamic that are given to the reader. of course Naruto makes several appearances, as well as a few characters from the first Shikamaru hiden. read it in a few hours! highly recommended. overlook the spelling errors and typos.

Great Novel!

Out of all the Naruto novels, this one actually made me misty-eyed. The book does a wonderful job of showing how Shikamaru has grown up and how he is one of the smartest ninjas. Easily, one of my favorite novels.

What a drag, so worth 5 Stars

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2021

Shikamaru's Story: Morning Clouds novel is in excellent condition and I don't wish to spoil any details about the book. However, I will say that I loved reading it, because he's Naruto's shadow same as Sasuke. He also learns to open up to his family, which makes him a good husband and father.

Amazing insight on Shikamaru’s mind

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book was amazing! I read it all in one sitting. You get to see how Shikamaru truly thinks about his job and family. It was written with a lot of passion and thought. Seeing Shikamaru break down was a beautiful scene to read. Highly recommend. You won’t regret it.

Great book about a great character. Was expecting it to look like a manga, but was surprised to see it's an actual novel. Great gift to get the Naruto fan in your life.

It's so hard to get into the thoughts of characters sometimes, but novels allow just that. So happy to have read this!

Shikamaru is a favorite. I watched the episodes, which derived from this novel, but it was still a good read.

Good book but typos are endless

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2023

Verified Purchase

The book itself is fine, but it is wrought with editing mistakes. Sometimes multiple times a chapter you'll find typos. Only made worse by the fact that the book isn't even long. These really mistakes should have been stamped out by an editor. Though, that aside the book is actually really good.

Amazon devia selecionar os volumes vendidos!

Reviewed in Brazil on March 9, 2021

A NOTA É PARA O VOLUME DEFEITUOSO E NÃO PARA A HISTÓRIA!

Eu tenho preguiça de trocar, mas vou deixar aqui novamente a mesma reclamação que deixei em Sasuke Shinden: Star Pupil. O serviço de entrega do Amazon é 10, porém, estão pecando na hora de selecionar os volumes vendidos! Meu Shikamaru Shinden veio RASGADO na onde você podem ver na foto, e você não podia ver o “Vizmedia”, então, eu peguei com muito cuidado, deixei bonitinho e passei um durex para não rasgar mais. É visível também que a colagem nesse canto também não foi boa, e também, há um amassado no canto superior. Você paga mais de 60 reais numa novel importada para o Amazon lhe enviar isso. É dever do Amazon selecionar os volumes e nos enviar volumes SEM DEFEITOS. Quem tem paciência de trocar vai lá e troca, eu não tenho, e acho obrigação da loja enviar volumes sem defeitos.

Agora, sobre a história: leitura essencial para não só fãs do Shikamaru, mas também do universo Naruto. Vamos compreender melhor algumas pautas que estão sendo abordadas no mangá de Boruto de maneira leviana nessa novel. Recomendo a leitura!
