Amazing short read, in 31 chapters, it encompasses, gag humor, romance, friendship, and action. Some aspects are weaker than others, but at the end of the day, it is still a great manga if you are looking for something fun to read. The manga excels in action because the art is clear and detailed with organic fight choreography. The romance execution is weaker, but still a significant story driver. It was never intended to be a romantic love story, MC is an OP ninja stalker for crying out loud, it is not meant to be taken that seriously. Face value, is a funny spin on ... the Japanese ninja stereotype.

The characters are alright, MC and her friend stand out as the most unique and have decent character development. The love interest is fairly standard and honestly slightly boring. but romance is not why this manga is 9/10, its MC coming out of her comfort zone in pursuit of her "prince" with gag humor, and amazing, crisp art. The biggest caveat in my opinion is her annoying as family, but given their role as obstacles, I can somewhat forgive.

Overall, good stuff. A unique blend of humor and ninjas.

I will say this: that I am not only disappointed by this manga, but even ashamed of it. If you should begin to read it, you would, in all truth, be warmed by the honied romance story it appears to be; but this is all a deception. Only after some chapters, I recall not how many exactly, but in the range of six to ten, would you notice that the author had lost all interest in the romance genre that he earlier wrote so decidedly and that he has now replaced with out-and-out action scenes, unbefitting at best in the midst of the ... multitude of sweet scenes therebefore. I tell you, do you not read it, and save the trouble of one person, at least.
