Plot/Story
Nabari no Ou is a ninja manga, but has NOTHING in common with Naruto. The story happens nowdays, with a normal boy, Miharu. He's not interested in anything, but his english teacher and friend keep trying to get him into the school's ninjutsu club. The truth is that Miharu has a great power, desired and feared by all the ninjas.

Characters
The characters are the best of the manga, seriously. They're far from being stereotypes. In fact, they mock most of the cliches. For exemple, Miharu is totally indifferent, he doesn't care about a thing, but he's so cute he use his charm to fool everyone. In fact, he's a little devil. His teacher, Kumohira, is one constantly fooled by his charms... He has guilt attacks all over when Miharu looks cutely at him. And how not to quote Raikou, the pink haired samurai?! They're all awesome.

Drawing Style
The drawing style it's bad, but it isn't that good or originaleither. It doesn't seem that special to me.

Enjoyment
A great manga for girls who like shounen, I must say... Lots of shounen ai undertones. As I'm one of them, I enjoyed it lots! Enough to 'read' it in japanese...

Overall
A very cute and funny manga! Original and interesting, enough to make the reader love it!
