Manga Review: Shuriken and Pleats Vol. 1

 


I've finished "Shuriken and Pleats Vol. 1" by Matsuri Hino.

Product Description

When the master she has sworn to protect is killed, Mikage Kirio, a skilled ninja, travels to Japan to start a new, peaceful life for herself. But as soon as she arrives, she finds herself fighting to protect the life of Mahito Wakashimatsu, a man who is under attack by a band of ninja. From that time on, Mikage is drawn deeper into the machinations of his powerful family.

About the Author

Hino was a manga artist a mere nine months after she decided to become one. With the success of her popular series Captive Hearts, MeruPuri, and Vampire Knight, Hino has established herself as a major player in the world of shojo manga.

My Review:


I really like the story line and it was a fresh breath of air since it wasn't the norm!

Mikage was a cool heroine and it was awesome that she is a female ninja.  She really is a good one and dedicated to her job of taking care of her master.

LOL!  I found it quite funny that she fell in love with her master who is twice her age!

Mahito is hilarious because he doesn't listen to Mikage and he would be a great love match!

The artwork is beautifully illustrated and I'm really glad the male characters don't look alike that you couldn't tell them apart!

4/5
