Ninin Ga Shinobuden

    (Infinity, 2006)
™ and © Infinity Productions

Shinobu is a ninja in training, but she’s not your typical stealthy assassin. She’s quite possibly the most incompetent ninja around, not to mention the silliest. It’s hard to be serious, though, when your master is a pervert who sends you on a quest for high school girls’ panties while the other ninjas at the academy would rather watch anime than train for a fight. The collection is billed as “nonsense fiction” and it certain lives up to the name. Random humor abounds and there are so many Japanese pop culture references, each chapter contains numerous translation notes.
