Ninja Vs. Gokudo, Vol. 1
$13.99
Shinoha is a frickin’ NINJA. He can’t even smile because of a dark trauma in his past that you’ll find out about later. But for now, what you need to know is, he kicks ass and can kill so many guys. Kiwami, on the other hand, looks like a regular business guy, but actually he’s a flipping YAKUZA. Everyone knows ninjas and yakuzas have been at war for three hundred years, so when Kiwami and Shinoha meet, it’s like, fwoosh, slice, kabloop, stab stab stab… My point is, this manga has REAL ULTIMATE POWER and, if you read it? Maybe you can too.

zawa113 –
Two souls, a sullen angsty looking teenage boy and young adult wearing a business suit, bond intensely when they discover the other is also a fan of an in-universe Precure knockoff. But when they’re not discussing anime, one is a ninja with vaguely defined ninja powers, and the other is a Yakuza, and everyone knows how Yakuza get mystical badass powers (right?) And everyone definitely knows that ninja and yakuza have been fighting each other for centuries. As much as they love in-universe Precure, it sure would be annoying if some of those cliches were to happen to them in real life, no? It’d be probably be downright lazy, impossible to take seriously, and incredibly stupid, right?
Ninja vs Gokudo is the type of series that knows it’s stupid, dumb, and fun. It knows it, and revels in it every single page. Whenever you might expect a character to spout something cliche, they go so far over the top with it that it goes past ridiculous. It does it while maintaining epic fight scenes with actual stakes for the main characters. The whole thing is a compelling and addictive fun read that’s easy to overlook because the cover of vol 1 is, honestly, pretty bad looking. But if you want a hyper violent comedy that you’d probably find Majima reading, this is the series for you. It’s the type of series where everyone is a bad person, everyone murders random people (sometimes while living in a Like a Dragon karaoke sidequest), everyone is violent and no one is serious while the story itself knows just the right balance of earnestness to create comedy while keeping tension. Don’t overlook this one!
