Miharu, a 14 year old student, is a master at indifference. And considered adorable by his peers. He only wants a quiet life until he learns that he is the vessel of the power Shinrabansho, a ninjustu creation, wanted by all factions. We can only presume whoever controls or gains the power of the Shinrabansho, controls the ninja world.
It seems that Miharu and Kumohira have a past that Miharu does not remember. Aizawa and Shimizu protect him during their journey to Fuuma Village.

first time reading. didnt really like the implications brought forth by miharu and kumohiras 'jesting'. it's interesting enough from the get go, a bit too fast paced, but im excited to see where this takes me from here on.

Aside from the fact that it's about modern day ninjas (heck yeah ninjas!), there is nothing so far that I find particularly thrilling or annoying, but it's supposed to get more interesting, so I keep reading.
Apparently it's a bit similar to Naruto and though I never really saw nor read that, I can point down some of the similarities.
So for anyone who is unsure wether or not to start with these series, I'll just leave the words of the person who recommended it to me here:
"It’s very different from every other manga I’ve read, possibly because it really has the potential to be bombastic, but manages to be very calm and introspective. Technically, it’s about ninjas, but it’s really a story about ultimate fuck ups and learning to forgive yourself. It breaks down a lot of notions of good and evil and the means used to achieve certain ends and really ties everything together with fantastic characters.
It’s also one of the more heart-breaking things I’ve ever read[...]."

VERY IMPORTANT EDIT: IF YOU KEEP READING THIS SERIES, YOU WILL CRY. A LOT! (Unless you don't lack a heart, that is.)

Read this for Kayleigh. Kind of refreshing to have a shounen protagonist who's completely apathetic and not interested in proving that he's the best around.

I'm not re-reading NNO, you're re-reading NNO.
I love this series. I can't focus on reading anything else when I have the urge to revisit this wonderful series. I'm ready to cry my eyes out all over again.

I didn't enjoy this as much as I remember liking it the first time, it felt a bit fast and messy, things happening without enough explanation. But I like the aesthetic and the art and it seems like it'll be a good series, just not one that's gripped me enough to continue right now!
