Naruto

From 2007 to 2008, Bladkompaniet and Schibsted published a nine-issue Norwegian-language edition of the global manga phenomenon Naruto, bringing Masashi Kishimoto's iconic ninja saga to Scandinavian readers. Anchored by Kishimoto's original art and story, with translation and adaptation by Annette Nordheim, this series offered a localized window into the epic journey of young shinobi in a hidden village. It stands as a key cultural bridge, introducing a generation of Norwegian readers to the action, heart, and world-building that made Naruto a defining work of early-2000s manga.
