Under Ninja is my favorite anime. Can you guess it? Even though the anime was only released in the spring of this year, I've watched it a few times or more. That's how much I love this anime.
The initial impression of seeing the latest news about the list of anime releases that will be broadcast next year, my attention was suddenly drawn to Under Ninja. For some reason, I feel that this anime deserves attention among other famous anime titles.
Under Ninja itself is an adaptation of the manga by Kengo Hanazawa which is published weekly in Kodansha Young Magazine and published on July 23 2018. How will this anime become a challenger among the many new anime in 2023 that are worth anticipating?
Starting from the success of the manga I Am Hero
Kengo Hanazawa apparently is a mangaka whose work should be taken into account among a number of famous mangaka. We all remember how successful the film adaptation of I Am Hero from the manga of the same name was. Of course, he was not immediately satisfied with his great achievements.
Until he finally released a manga entitled Under Ninja in February 2018. When the manga was released, there was a flash of the story of this manga where a loner in high school was given a part-time job for the rest of his life as a modern ninja tasked with carrying out international assassinations.
How was the street ninja's initial journey?
Originally starting after World War II, Allied Command in Japan developed a new agency to help manage terrorism and violence in the Pacific region. This agency was managed by ninjas and they were initially assigned to handle domestic affairs.
Eventually, the program grew to its current form, managing 20,000 ninjas in various domestic and international affairs. Later, there will be a seventeen-year-old high school student ready to become the next line of defense against a potential surge of foreign assassins attacking Tokyo.
While some elite ninjas worked behind the scenes in national-level conflicts, the ninjas at the end of the line often couldn't find work. One of them, Kuro Kumogakure, who lives the life of a NEET, receives a serious “ninja assignment”, an order from his superiors to infiltrate a high school with the latest equipment.
From his personal side of the story, Kuro is a descendant of the Kumogakure ninja clan. Unable to find a job himself, Kuro spends his time in his apartment, until one day Kato appears and gives him a mission to infiltrate a school. She went to her neighbor, Kawado, and asked him to pretend to be her mother and call the school she was transferring to.
Since he has to take the transfer exam on Saturday, Kuro waits in his apartment and spends time with his neighbors. Three days before the exam, Kato visited him and asked about his mission. Knowing that he would have to wait, Kato gave him a mission that he could complete in those three days.
Unexpectedly, He needed to capture and make an example of a blonde foreigner and then try to infiltrate their organization. Kato notices the hoodie Kuro got for his school mission and Kuro realizes there must be something about the hoodie if a high-ranking ninja like Kato notices it.
He goes to test it and lures a boy who wants to steal an object. Until Kuro waited for the boy to come closer, while he remained invisible and shocked him with a stick.
