My first MAL review.

Almost Japanese think best Ninja comic is Naruto.
I think, Naruto is very good until the Ninja test(Chuunin Shiken).

these days, Japanese Otaku thinks best ninja fiction is Ninja Slayer.
novel is great, comic is not bad, but, the anime is shit.

... and, Under Ninja is? this comic is very good.
Under Ninja's ninjas use cool gadgets(optical camouflage, satellite weapon) in real world.
Japan is safe country, and no one use gun, so almost scenes normal Japanese(whore, dull middle-aged businessman, boy who doesn't to school, or more strangers) move and talk.

There are two side comicality in this comic, Normal Japanese strangers talks and living, and, Real ninja battles.

I think this comic's ninja is like a Iron Man or Batman.
They are special people and use real comical gadget, and they are not immortal in real world.
so, I think Foreign Nerds love this comic.

I came into this manga expecting crazy and my expectations still got blown away.

Under Ninja shows a very comedic wacky world that can instantly go from 0-100. The series provides a vibrant cast of characters which it isn't afraid to cut down on at times providing real tension for every confrontation. You get to see multiple gadgets be used for dumb combat ranging from invisible clothes that only make your torso invisible all the way to talking motorcycles and special cardboard boxes.

The interactions with Kuro and other characters are funny but also sometimes drop hints of worldbuilding which you can't always be sure of their ... validity. The mystery of figuring out what it going on mixed with intense action and dumb stupid comedy provides for interesting story telling which fits its own vibe of crazy dumb stupid fun.

This series is like a mix of Gantz and Chainsawman plus dumb stupid humor. I heavily recommend anyone check this out because this series is severely underrated for how good it is and this series manages to have one of the most insane manga read moments I've experienced in a reading session(you'll know when you get to it).
