I LOVE Shinobi Life! I thought the story was really good the first time i started reading it.. I also loved the art and the characters. I loved seeing how they evolved and grew. So glad though that the story has ended.. was wondering when it would. But I still think that the drama was too much in the middle.

The plot will only be revealed laters in the series. Its a good plot honestly. But too much of something is really exhausting. I wish the series had a little less of the twistSsss. Yes with an S cause it has a lot of mayhem going on. and focus on atleast one or two problems. I mean, so it wouldnt be so much headache, atleast solve one problem before giving the series another problemSsss. Im still not finished reading it so i wont rate it yet.

just read it and dont stop (be patient)
you will know why this manga is good

By the way ~
cover reminded me of Inori ..

I freaking adore this manga. A lot. It has soooo much character development which is awesome and unexpected plot twists that make me crazy. I highly recommend this manga for a serious lover of manga.

I never seriously ever ! thought in a million years that I would come to like this manga.I always saw this but skipped it because the summery made the story seem..pretty booring.After rubbish manga after rubbish manga, I came back to this and I really didn't want to read this but I saw the 'greeat' reviews this manga received tbh that still wasn't enough and I was on verge of reading another manga, then on a whim I said fuuck it, let me see this manga for once and for all ! So I read the first few chapters and was shocked to see how nice the flow was because not for one instance did I have to force myself to read this manga, literally nothing went wrong... So from then on I was pretty much hooked.The funny thing is this has happened with all the best manga(shit summery, awesome story).

After reading the first 4volumes, I was in lover, I seriously was ...Then it came volume 5 and woow...it was amazing, the build up that goes on is consistent throughout, its taken me a day and half to read this and tbh I'm angry because once again, I end up loving a manga, but it takes so long for the chapters to be released that I end up losing interest and I'm sorry but I'm not gonna read manga for years...Just no ! Sigh**

I can tell where this manga is going and I just know its going to be a great happy ending! Errgggh I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M FINISHED !!! TUT*
Seriously if your having douts pllllleeeeasee for the love of god read it ! I can honestly say that this statement I am about to make is a Fact ! ...ALL SEEMINGLY INTERESTING MANGAS ARE CRAP, THE MANGAS THAT DON'T SEEM INTERESTING ARE THE FREEEEAKIN BEST !.

I.E: The one, Crimson Hero,KouKou debut and this manga which has now been added, this is a huge honour since these manga are the best I've read in all my ...experience of manga..Anyway I give this manga a 9.5 simply because it can't compare to The One


EDIT: I was right read it .

First, the most important thing you need to understand is that Beni has no super powers. The romance is obvious from the beginning to everyone except our two main protagonists >.< While the beginning few chapters are a little cliched, once time travel is introduced, the story really picks up. The part I loved the most was when the true chronology of Kagetora's life and his meetings with certain characters are revealed *cough cough*. His history with Hitaki clears up a lot of previous questions from the beginning of the story, which was very clever of the mangaka. I definitely had a big aha! moment and applauded the wonderful uses of foreshadow before said moment of epiphany. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes reading something with a little adventure and a fairly complex plot history. And let's not forget our hot male lead

This is the kind of manga you'll like if you want romantic angst and repetitive plot development. In other words, it's like any other shoujo romance manga with "forbidden love", except with ninjas and time travel and convenient plot devices and a relapse of all the romantic progress and character growth that is ever made. And isn't it *so* convenient that



Isn't it convenient that Beni's potential "supernatural powers" suddenly appear a few volumes in, without a hint of them beforehand?

Everyone in this manga is full of angst: the villains, the heroes, basically anyone of importance. And the heroine is weak. She seems strong, but everything she does causes more trouble and Kagetora still ends up coming to save her. He has to extricate her from the mess she made trying to "save" him. She's always crying or about to cry about something. Fortunately, she's not colossally stupid, but I can't like her either. And Kagetora always feels guilty about something. I guess he's cute for a manga guy, but he's completely intolerable the way he wavers back and forth about how to treat Beni.

In other words, this series could've been nicely wrapped up in about 3-4 volumes. There's only four important plot points: the past princess, the fiance, the antagonist, the nasty father. Instead of a nice, tight, well-planned storyline, there's angst on top of angst. If you like that, then you'll LOVE this. If you like a good plot and developing/developed characters, you are going to be driven crazy by this.

Beni and Kagetora have the kind of romance that keeps getting better and better. Conceptually, the story takes place in several different timelines but it's not confusing and easy to follow. While the premise is consistant, they both continually love one another.

This is a one of kind manga, well to me. Anyways I really like how they made Kagetora really sweet, not like the boring sweet but the fun sweet. Beni is not you're typical shoujo character which is why I like her. I read it about 4 times because I love it so much<3 This manga is a must read!

well, it's a nice series. I first picked it up last summer and since then the scanlations are so dang slow making me lose interest. It was pretty good actually but as the story goes on, it feels dragging. Sometimes it's confusing too. But the art is good and the characters are not so cliche. Anyway, recently, the latest chapter built a lot of tension and sparked my interest again so I guess it gets better.
