Comment: The only sources here are short promotional blurbs and publication history from the publisher itself, neither of which contribute to notability. Devonian Wombat (talk) 10:01, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: The only part that is sourced is the table in the publication section. Needs more sourcing that that with the amount of info here. Ktkvtsh (talk) 01:32, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

Plot
Endo Kazama, an "unbeaten" high-school delinquent in his first year, has his career shaken up when two of his henchmen are defeated by Ichiya Hachisuka, an unassuming and short-statured first-year student at Jinshin Private High School. Curious, Endo goes to pick a fight with Ichiya himself, during which they both use mysterious powers that are invisible to other people's eyes. Ichiya ascertains that Endo is actually a ninja like him, but when questioned about ninja Endo gets sensitive and even frightened, refusing to believe that ninja exist. Nonetheless, Ichiya is determined to put Endo's strength to use, and convinces him to transfer to Jinshin Private High School and enter a nationwide tournament for ninja, the winners of which will earn the honor of being the Tokugawa Shadow Shogun's Oniwaban.[4]
