Nabari no O Review
By: Adrianne HessDate: Friday, April 18, 2008
Junior high school student Rokujou Miharu lives a peaceful life with his grandparents in a scenic coastal village and assists them with their restaurant. His life as he knows it is far away from the supposedly ancient world of ninjas and their nindou (way of the ninja). After turning down his classmate and English teacher when they ask him to join their martial arts club, they are forced to reveal to Miharu that he will have to become a ninja in order to protect his hijutsu (hidden technique) that is living inside him. They also reveal that there are multiple ninja clans that are after his hijutsu and the power that it possesses. After a kidnap attempt is made by a ninja clan to capture Miharu, he realizes that the hijutsu does exist inside him, but he is still reluctant to train. Miharu is content with his current life and has no interest in becoming the ninja leader needed in order to stop the battles for the hijutsu. However, Miharu may be forced to change his mind since the hunt for his hijutsu appears to just be getting started.
