Before I start with the review, I have to comment that the opening theme is awesome! I loved it! :D
The episode started off with a scene from the past of a man and a young boy fleeing from pursuit. They were cornered but the boy unleashed a weird power with characters streaming up his face and saved them. The scene ended with the man telling the boy to forget everything. And now the boy has grown up to become a high school student.
The boy,
Rokujou Miharu grew up to become a carefree person who didn't give a damn about the world. For some reason, one of his classmates,
Aizawa Kouichi was interested in him and invited him to join the new
nindou club that he was starting together with his teacher
Kumohira sensei. They passed their classroom teacher
Yamase sensei who is awfully suspicious if you ask me.
Anyway,
Miharu has no interest in
Kouichi's offer although
Kouichi kept on pestering him while on the way home. That evening,
Kumohira sensei visited
Miharu's grandmother's
okonomiyaki shop and tried to persuade
Miharu to join the
nindou club and train himself. He told
Miharu that there exists two worlds which is the real world and the secret ninja world kept hidden from the real world. He also warns that
Miharu is now being targeted. LOL
Miharu can be such a devil! I love this side of him when he teases people.
Meanwhile,
Kouchi escaped from pursuit to a shrine. Not long after, his pursuer managed to catch up with him. It was
Yamase sensei who was apparently, a ninja undercover. They engaged into battle mode.
Miharu who was sent out to buy some ingredients stumbled into the both of them and got caught in the middle of the fight.
Yamase sensei started to focus on
Miharu after finding out that
Miharu possesses the thing he was looking for but thanks to
Kouchi, they made a break for it.
However,
Miharu decides to take the problem on his own and proceeded to leave
Kouichi. However, they were surrounded by a bunch of ninjas and ended up getting into another battle. This time,
Miharu accidentally unleashed the weird power he unleashed in the past when he was a child.
Kouichi stabbed
Miharu while he was in a daze to stop
Miharu from annihilating everything in sight.
Kumohira sensei appeared in time to release
Miharu from his spell-bound state.
When
Miharu regained consciousness, he found that they had brought him to the school clinic.
Kumohira sensei explained to
Miharu about the ninja world and
Miharu's special powers called
Shinra Banshou which had the power to destroy the world and hence was highly sought after. However, they couldn't get into deep discussion as they were once again attacked by more ninjas.
Kumohira sensei who desired peace of the
nabari world pleaded with
Miharu to accept his powers and become the
King of the Nabari.
While they were busy trying to keep themselves intact,
Miharu had once again disappeared. Don't ask how, but he got cornered by
Yamase sensei up at the roof of the school. However, before he could lay a finger on
Miharu,
Kumohira sensei appeared to the rescue! After the whole commotion was over,
Kumohira sensei pledged his life to protecting
Miharu. Of course
Miharu chooses to ignore the gesture. The next day went on as usual but this is the starting of something new. News of
Shinra Banshou is now being circulated...
Cool moves, nice art, very good opening and closing themes... I'm already in love with
Miharu-kun (O_O)
Okay, so it might not really qualify as bedtime reading since there's nothing to read at all. But it is what I flip through before I go to sleep. I got this last weekend after much contemplation on whether I should or should not use my savings. You know what the end decision was. :P
