The release of the 6th volume of the series has officially confirmed today that a TV anime adaptation of the manga Under Ninja by Kengo Hanazawa is in production. The manga has been serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine since July 2018.
Further details such as staff and broadcast dates will be announced at a later time.
The manga publisher Denpa describes the plot of the first volume as follows:
After World War II, the Allied Command in Japan developed a new agency to combat terrorism and violence in the Pacific region. The agency was staffed with ninjas, who were initially meant to handle domestic affairs. Over time, the program grew into its current form, managing 20,000 ninjas responsible for a range of national and international matters. One of these ninjas happens to be Kudo. The 17-year-old high school loser is now ready to be the next line of defense against a potential wave of foreign assassins infiltrating Tokyo.
