Just enough exciting action panels to excite the fans
Shinobi Undercover Debuts his first chapter to readers worldwide in Weekly Sean Jump Sunday, September 15, 2024. It presented the fantastic and extreme vision of shinobi, masters of ninjutsu, who never went away even in the present, Instead operating to keep the peace as the “Ninja Public Safety Force.”
The vision of ninjas operating in the shadows, instead of the more bombastic fights in NarutoAlmost projects a parallel to Chainsaw Man “Public Safety” Section; The parallel is especially amusing given Shinobi Undercover Protagonist.
Yodaka is lost in interacting with strangers when they are not targets on his mission, but his social anxiety is tested when he and fellow shinobi Hibari and Umineko are contracted as bodyguards for a high school girl, Aoi Mukai. Despite being rich and privileged, Aoi is also keen and intelligent to the possibility that others are secretly making her life easy.

The charm of high school students who hide incredible skill or power is a massive Shōn manga trope, but that’s because It resonates with viewers repeatedlyof Jujutsu Kaisen to Dandadan. Shinobi Undercover Is no different in this case, with Yodaka craving friendship despite his limitations, he expects to keep cover while his colleagues become Aoi’s best friend and boyfriend, respectively. Despite the silly premise of bodyguards hiding their roles and keeping their target safe, Shinobi Undercover Cranks the ninja fight to eleven when the moment counts.
The beginning of Shinobi Undercover Shows Yodaka as a fierce operator, and dispatching countless targets out of frame, as a reminder that, as a ninja, he has to work in the shadows. However, as the series shows, this often means making judgment calls, especially with the hilarious and conflicting advice of his handlers, but ultimately shows in the latter half of the first chapter when Yodaka fends off one of Aoi’s attacks.
Suddenly, all social blocks are gone, and Yodaka becomes an agile fighting machineAble to hide before overpowering an opponent who had dosed him with tranquilizers before. So, a very different vision of NarutoAnd a more authentic image of ninjas emerge, but still similarly exaggerated as in The elusive samurai.
