First time reading this series! (I have read the first two volumes in English, but that's it). Content/enjoyment wise, this first volume definitely has that early series feel where it seems like the author is just getting going and figuring out what they're trying to do. The volume picks up quite a bit as soon as Kakashi shows up, though!
I really enjoyed the art- there's a nice balance of silly expressions and detailed art, and some beautiful 2-pg spreads.
Language learning wise, there is quite a bit of casual slang, mostly from Naruto himself. I found this to be the biggest hurdle to reading, but got used to it by the end of the volume.
