Nabari No Ou

review 1: I have absolutely no idea why this manga grabbed me, but it really did. I found the characters a bit predictable and filling some stereotypical roles, but I also found that I liked them anyway, that the stakes were immediate and high, and that, most importantly, I want to know more about what's going on. Maybe not about the ninja societies and all, but that's really just the background. I want to know about what's going to happen with these characters - what they plan on doing next, how the major problems will be addressed, etc. And that's what, for me, makes this a really solid opener to a new-to-me series.
review 2: I'm always skeptical of manga such as this. Much like the other reviewer, I'm not that much of a fan of ninja. They're just too overdone in today... more's manga. Everywhere you turn, there's some new manga or anime coming out with the same 2-3 plotlines. But I decided to give this manga a try because I figured that it would be wrong to typecast this series.The plotline follows Miharu, a somewhat normal but apathetic teen who just wants to inherit the family okonomiyaki business in peace. Unfortunately for him, he has the secrets of everything trapped inside of him & several different factions of ninja want those secrets to either be used or hidden away. If it were up to Miharu, he'd continue to live normally, but the powers within him want to be used & will not be denied!I actually rather liked this manga. The plot isn't entirely new, but there are a few nice new twists to it. I like that Miharu is extremely apathetic (on the surface, anyway) about everything & that he often uses some of his latent talents (cuteness, ect) to his own devices. He provides a good chunk of humor in the series, which is definitely a bonus. The artwork is nice & I like the manga's pacing. We get a pretty good look at the developing dynamics between the characters & there's a nice plotline going on.The only thing I'm worried about is that while there's a chance for the plot to grow into something truly wonderful, there's also the potential for this to develop into horribly bogged down plotlines ala Naruto. Still, this is a pretty good start to a series, so I'll be picking up the next volume to see if the good plot & pacing continues. less

It was nice. A little hard to understand, but nice. A good introduction to the genre.
