User blog comment:Rrmcklin/The New Naruto?/@comment-25993431-20160405140237

Having reread the manga, I can see why it is called the new naruto. For their are many things that are similar. Even the messages are quite similar. But what sets apart Academia and Naruto, and what arguably makes Academia better than Naruto is that it shows the collective journey of a group of kids, and Naruto shows the journey of one kid and everyone else either supports him or hates him in the end. Naruto is a story about Naruto, Academia is a story about a group of people. That's why the story isn't called "Izuku". You can agree or disagree with this. I don't mind as long as you see my point of view as well.
