Shinobu's Pure Heart

SHOULD YOU READ IT? If you want to get DIABETES then FAK YEAH READ THIS SH*T BRO. There's a girl in your class. She's secretly a ninja, and you're the only one who knew her secret. Yup, that is the summary of this story. Ninja Shinobu-san no Junjou is a refreshing ROMCOM manga which its main audience is just people who want to have a good sweetness experience of their life. I know you are kinda like "Real Life sucks and so am I rite?" guys, so just let's get going to my review. Story (8): It is basically a slice of life story.The plot of most chapters ends in 1 chapter, so there's basically no cliffhanger. That's being said, you still want to read more because of the curiosity of the main characters' development. Art (7): The art is not great, but not that bad. The character design still can hook you up, but the environment is... I would say "too white". Not like I don't like white but hey, we all don't like white supremacy. Need to put some tints on that environment. (I heard from other people that the manga artist is a high school student, which makes sense to me). Character (9): Well I'm not good at memorizing character's name, but I will say they are pretty well-written. If you guys read any romcom manga, you will see a handsome dude and a plain dude, it's similar to this manga. There's 1 side character which I think don't have much of character development (the bar/shop girl, who always in the store. When I say always, it's like forever). However, the rest of them are lit. Enjoyment (9): Yeah, I really enjoy this kind of story, it's kinda refreshing and there are no NTR WHATSOEVER in the story. It's really refreshing for thus who got depressed with other dark shit manga. Try this manga bro, it's a good drug for you. Overall: I will say (8) is my sweet spot, really enjoy this so far. In conclusion, WORTH IT.

TL:DR; It's cute, well-paced, and it ends nicely. rest of the review... not really necessary honestly, but might as well do it for context. Story: Story is well-paced and progresses the relationship of the two mains nicely with some development for the side cast. Story revolves around Shinobu the Kunoichi interacting with Hitoyoshi, the only guy that knows she's a ninja and is trying to expose it. First few chapters revolve around antics between the two. and honestly the first few chapters are kinda cringe-worthy at first because of hitoyoshi, but is not too bad. the manga quickly shifts gears later to developing the relationshipbetween the two mains with some antics in between. There is never any excessive drama, like in most romance stories. it stays light-hearted throughout the entire run. and unlike most comedy manga, the status quo never really ever felt stagnant. Art: art does what it needs to, but is a little higher quality than most comedy manga. Main girl is a cute "soft" kuudere and some of the opening art panels are drawn really well. Characters: Shinobu, the main girl, is a cute "soft" kuudere and never ceases to be one. Hitoyoshi is dense, but never frustrating though he was a bit cringe-worthy in the early chapters, but that's the worst he ever gets, he's the typical too nice to a fault kinda guy, and at the very least they don't skip over the "to a fault" part like most manga, so he's pretty generic but in a good way. the rest of the side cast is really likable, but describing them would probably spoil some of the gags of the manga, so i won't. Enjoyment and Overall: Not really much left to say honestly. It's cute, well-paced, and it ends nicely.

A nice change of pace from the usual dark manga I read. Ninja Shibo-chan no Junjou is about a love story between a typical high school boy and a not so typical girl…ahem ninja. The story started off as the male protagonist discovered that his classmate is actually a ninja, while she awkwardly tries to deny it. =Story= It's your typical love story where classmates fall in love, albeit with the twist that the girl is actually a ninja. It started out as a cute premise but it's noticeably missing in the middle of the manga and brought up again at the end. =Character= The authoris very good at showcasing each characters by giving them individual chapter. While there're quite a few characters in the manga but they all feel like they have their own characteristics and has been properly introduced. =Thoughts= I read this while I'm feeling down from my new year resolution not working out :chuckle:. It's definitely a great read if you need a light hearted manga that can give you a laugh and cheer you up. It works for me so I hope for you as well.

It is a really cute Romcom, but definitely not in the traditional sense. The story is original, with this being my first encounter with the premise. Each chapter was funny and/or heartwarming. The reason I give the story an 8 is because they didn't kiss and we didn't see them do romantic stuff. The characters were alright. Actually, the one I disliked the most was Hitoyoshi, the main character (other than Shinobu). He was so fucking dense. The art was good, I didn't once feel empty. Sometimes, mangaka will leave a textbox with a white or black background, and it makes me feel disgusted when it pulls meout of the world, which is most of the time. Plus, the character designs were distinguishable and Shinobu was cute. I enjoyed this, it was funny, but the end was underwhelming. Recommended to those who like comedy but not those who want to see lovey-dovey stuff.
