Satoshi Kuwabara (Black Jack) directs the Under Ninja TV anime at Tezuka Productions with Keiichiro Ochi (The Quintessential Quintuplets, The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten) writing the screenplay and series composition, and Noboteru Yuki (The Vision of Escaflowne, Kids on the Slope) drawing the character designs.
Kodansha’s Weekly Young Magazine has been serializing the series since July 2018. DENPA publishes Under Ninja‘s official English version and describes the series as such:
After World War II, Allied Command in Japan developed a new agency to help manage terrorism and violence within the Pacific region. The agency was staffed with ninja and they were initially tasked to handle domestic affairs. Eventually that program grew to its current form, managing 20,000 ninja across a range of domestic and international affairs. One of those ninja happens to be Kudo. The seventeen-year-old high school loser is now poised to be the next line of defense against a potential surge in foreign assassins invading Tokyo.
Under Ninja is scheduled to debut in October 2023.
