Description
From Del Rey:
The young ninja Kagetora has been given a great honor - to serve a renowned family of skilled martial artists. But on arrival, he's handed a challenging assignment: teach the heir to the dynasty, the charming but clumsy Yuki, the deft moves of self-defense and combat. For a ninja like Kagetora, to fall in love with his master is a betrayal of his duty, the ultimate dishonor, and strictly forbidden. Can Kagetora help Yuki overcome her ungainly nature…or will he be overcome by his growing feelings?

| Dont expect too much from this... by torrentchan on June 8th, 2009, 6:04am |
|
There seem to be no plot whatsoever, or at least no plot that is noteworthy. Though the art is decent, the character development, characters, genre, envirnoment and comedy is below average.
The only thing that managed to freaked me out was the romance. The romance is too strong and made me went "ewwww" which was a first since i AM a romance/comedy reader.
But this manga isnt as bad as i made it sound above, it is a good read (for when you want a light read, something to pass thing or just to experiment new genres). Just dont expect a masterpiece or something near, or even something truly decent: like Angel Densetsu (talking about the genre and theme).
I give this manga a 4, since i AM a very picky person. 1 would be a disaster, 10 being masterpiece. |

There is nothing really new in this manga, the plot and character is original. I does not have much good points about comedy, harem, ninja action, I may blame the mangaka about because it should be done better. It just light and sweet romance.
I deserve 7 point but I add 1 for one of the nicest final chapter I have read.

| Doesn't break any new ground but still enjoyable by Geese1 on March 6th, 2009, 5:16pm |

I'll be up front and say that there's nothing really new or original about this manga. It's plot and characters are pretty cliched, and have been done many, many times before.
That aside though, I still found it quite enjoyable. The artwork, while not the best I've seen, was still well done and the style pleasing to the eye. The plot, for all it's commonplace elements, moved along at a good pace and never left me bored or wanting. And the characters, while somewhat cliched, were still appealing and a lot of fun.
And I think that best describes this whole manga - fun. It manages to overcome it's rather standard premise and is just a nice, easy, enjoyable read.
So in the end I highly recommend this to fans of the genre. With a nice, easy-to-read style, fun characters and a good ending, it makes a fine read for anyone who enjoys romantic comedies.

| More romance than comedy by m1sael on February 9th, 2009, 7:50pm |
|
What I liked: Well drawn, romantic all right.
What I didn't like: it is a comedy manga but it's a bit too serious. The pace of the story is veeeery slow.
Other thoughts: I'm a fan of harem series and I always wanted to read a serie where the girl is the center of attention and not the boy. Kagetora is exactly that kind of manga but after reading it I realized that things are a lot more fun when the boy is the center of attention. In short, Kagetora is weak in the fun (when compare to other harems) but it's strong in the romance. I guess girls will like it more than guys.

I picked up Volume 1 at Kinokuniya for lack of anything better to do, and the synopsis sounded cute, if not particularly unique or interesting. Given the lack of expectations, it would've been hard to disappoint me, but Kage Tora somehow managed even that. To be fair, I'll note here that this comment is written with only the first volume in mind; I've only flipped through the 2nd and 3rd volumes before giving them up. If this manga improves drastically later, then I stand corrected.
The main characters of note are Kagetora, the ninja/martial arts instructor/bodyguard, and Yuki, the successor of the Toudou family. Kagetora's supposed to be one of the senior ninja of his clan, but nearly all his exaggerated attempts to save Yuki and help her around at school have failed. Miserably. There is no character depth, because he spends the entire volume blushing at the thought of Yuki and telling himself that it is not the ninja way. Yuki is a complete airhead placed there for fanservice. I find it hard to understand how someone can be that naive and dumb; very little thought actually passed through her head.
Plot... what plot? Kagetora's supposed to coach Yuki in martial arts, but she's clumsy and a complete ditz, so that goes nowhere. The entire story thus far is dedicated to Kagetora blushing and silently berating himself for falling in love with his master, and Yuki innocently clinging onto Kagetora with the mindless adoration of a puppy.
The art is nothing to write home about either; it's fairly typical. Not particularly good, not particularly bad, though Kagetora is definitely drawn better than Yuki. Yuki's facial proportions are occasionally a little off, so readers should prepare themselves if they're really picky about the art.
All in all, I'd say - pass, pass, pass! There are many better manga out there with more interesting characters, better plot, better art, and yes - better fanservice. |

Thanks Byaaah! Just have to wait for the next volume. 
This was a fun and light read. Wish there were more which gives off the same atmosphere. Recommended for those with some time on their hands.

I fail to see how this is a shounen..needs to be removed...this is a shoujo for crying out loud...
No action...simple ninja randomly loves the girl hes suppsoed to teach, along with a random thought of her every other page, him blushing every minute...this would be 10X better if they focused on something different..too much blushing is annoying. |

| light, and true by ywu on January 3rd, 2008, 5:55pm |

light, very light, 3 volumes dedicated to kagetora trying to keep his hands off yuki, this is good if you have nothing better to do, nothing serious, no deep angst or over the top battles, would be nice to have the whole series though

I started reading this last week and it almost reminded me of an anime I just finished around the same time called Kage Kara Mamoru. However, I'm really enjoying this so far over KKM just because I found the characters to be more interesting, appealing and humorous. There isn't a lot of groundbreaking concepts found in this manga, but it's a very enjoyable and light-hearted romantic comedy story that's an easy read. There is some fanservice to be found, but it doesn't detract from the characters or the story. I also found the overall artstyle to be attractive enough, despite its simplicity.
Check this out if you're into lighthearted romantic comedies. Just don't expect a deep story.
