So, xenophobia, eh? If you've heard of Tokyo Shinobi Squad, it's probably because of its xenophobia accusations, which I honestly wonât even try to say theyâre wrong, as soon as the first appearance of the MC you have globalization and immigration being called the source of all crime in Japan. The series is very over the top on its xenophobia for like the first 3 chapters, but massively tones it down after, to the point itâs only from time to time youâll even notice something thatâd make you go âoh yeah the MC is a xenophobeâ. And note, the MC is never portrayed in the wrongfor this, his xenophobia is even called his ârighteous beliefsâ at some point, so youâre probably going to get it hard to swallow if you canât get past that. With the elephant in the room out of the way, letâs talk about the series itself, which I can describe in one word: average. Itâs pretty much a generic guild setting but cyberpunk, the plot is barely there and mostly carried by fight after fight, and all but two of the characters are very one note. Jin is your typical MC trying to who tries to act cool, but as said above, heâs a xenophobe who believes in the absolute purity and superiority of Japanese culture, so at least he has something to make him stand out from the crowd. En is probably the highlight of the series, having the most interesting personality, a neat power you donât usually explored this way in an action shounen, and ironically enough being one of the best representations for dark skinned characters Iâve seen in manga. Aside from the obviously rushed ending thanks to being axed and the instances of xenophobia sprinkled across it, Tokyo Shinobi Squad is basically a typical action shounen, but itâs at least serviceable enough to keep you entertained for its short run. So if you donât mind reading a pretty average series that you can probably finish in one or two sits, then I see no harm on this one. Thank you for reading.
Tokyo, 2049... Thanks to the Galapagos Reform enacted by the government, Russia, China, America, and Japan are now connected by a Hyper Loop system. This globalization has turned Tokyo into the most crime-ridden city in the world. To fight the rising crime, those who have been working in the shadows since the Sengoku period are needed... They are... the Shinobi! (Source: MANGA Plus)
