Shinobi Undercover Manga Debuts in Shonen Jump

There’s another new Shonen Jump manga, and this one is Ippon Takegushi and Santa Mitarashi’s Shinobi Undercover. The first chapter is available worldwide, and people can read it in English via MangaPlus and Viz Media. 

As the title suggests, Shinobi Undercover is about an undercover ninja. Yodaka the Nightjar has been assigned to protect a high schooler named Aoi Mukai. However, Yodaka is an introvert and extremely socially awkward. It’s classified as a challenging mission, even before considering how bad Yodaka is at dealing with other people. Especially since, shortly after arriving, he realizes that other ninja are also around and undercover. He’ll also need to deal with his new allies like Hibari the Skylark and Umineko the Gull as well.

Takegushi and Mitarashi worked on series together before. In 2021, they worked on Candy Flurry. Viz Media handled that release outside Japan as well.

This is the second week in a row a new Shonen Jump manga appeared. On September 8, 2024, the first chapter of Ichi the Witch appeared. That is a new series from Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun creator Osamu Nishi. 

The first chapter of the Shinobi Undercover manga is available now, and chapter 2 will be available via Shonen Jump and on sites like MangaPlus and Viz Media on September 22, 2024.
