Edition excerpt from Shinobi Undercover, Vol. 2 (2026): A young ninja battles the ultimate opponent—his own awkwardness! Yodaka’s worst nightmare comes true when his job as a Public Safety ninja forces him to go to high school and even worse…talk to people! When it comes to combat, his skills are off the charts. When it comes to social interaction, he completely falls apart. But things take an unexpected turn when he discovers that talking to Aoi Mukai, the girl he’s assigned to guard, is surprisingly easy. 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!
