Under Ninja

A manga about a modern world where ninjas are the most elite covert operators but are not utilized or known to the public.

This is one of Kengo Hanazawa’s followups to his popular I am a Hero series. I seriously question allowing Hanazawa to draw two manga simultaneously right now given his notoriety for being late with manuscripts and the awful copy/paste job he did in the end of I am a Hero(which we covered in our retrospective).

Since this series just started, it’s hard to tell where Hanazawa is going with the story. So far we follow a ninja who hasn’t even begun his vague mission and we know that the majority of the 200,000 ninja aren’t deployed because of something called ‘under ninja’.

Hanazawa is taking his sweet time with this series so I expect things won’t be clear for a while. Fortunately he did the same for I am a Hero so I expect he’ll have the luxury of being allowed to lead us on for a while. I’ll keep reading and waiting myself.
