4.0
I read the first volume of this series as a fan translation earlier and found it intriguing enough to order the real thing. I enjoyed it even more the second time around, and yes, apparently I'm all about ninja and samurai these days (HOW DID THAT HAPPEN), but in any case, this is a fun and promising series. The protagonist is a rather apathetic character who for some reason or other carries the ultimate power of the ninja world inside his body and finds himself involved with a ninja power struggle. I admit I *love* that kind of character who doesn't seem to show or have any feelings, and it helps that he's cute as a button. The art is lovely, and there's good balance between humour, action and emotions, and the characters all are interesting and potentially loveable.
While I found the way Yen Press translates the sound effects a bit odd at first, I am now quite fond of the fact that they do a romaji transcription and a translation while leaving the original Japanese. I also like their annotations; I am really quite fond of translations that offer a bit of additional explanations.
