Almost a year ago, it was announced that Kengo Hanazawa's manga Under Ninja would be adapted into an anime. This Friday, the Twitter account of Kodansha's Young Magazine revealed that the anime will be released in 2023. This announcement coincides with the release of the eighth volume of the manga on the Japanese market.

Under Ninja is the current manga by Kengo Hanazawa, the author of the popular manga I am a Hero. The series has been serialized in Kodansha's Young Magazine since 2018. So far, the work has not yet been completed and has been released in 8 volumes on the Japanese market.

The manga publisher Denpa describes the manga as follows:

A high school loner lands the part-time job of a lifetime as a modern-day ninja tasked with carrying out international assassinations.

After World War II, the Allied Command in Japan developed a new agency to curb 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 seventeen-year-old high school loser is now ready to become the next line of defense against a potential wave of foreign assassins infiltrating Tokyo.
