The first day of school is tough for most, but when you’re an awkward ninja tasked with secretly guarding a total klutz by the name of Aoi, it’s absolutely daunting! But as Yodaka soon discovers, his charge is not just a danger to herself—there are also rogue ninja assassins in the school targeting her. And it’s his and the other undercover shinobi’s job to save her life without blowing their covers!
Yodaka’s fears about his first high school sports festival have to take a back seat when a powerful rogue ninja attacks! Yodaka has his hands full trying to help Aoi escape danger while his squad mate Umineko fights a strange foe who can seemingly make things explode from any distance. When the fight proves to be too much for Umineko, Yodaka steps in and demonstrates why he’s assigned to protect Aoi!
Aoi is overjoyed to find Yodaka alive after a deadly fugitive ninja attack, but her concern and affection for him causes an unexpected pain in his heart. Could he be falling for her? Then a sparkly new student appears at school and makes the girls swoon. It’s Suzume, a ninja who declares they’ll be Aoi’s new beau!
