■Review"Ninja no Ichimonchi" begins with a shocking turn of events in which an ordinary high school student who didn't believe in the existence of ninjas suddenly finds his life in danger and discovers that he is the successor to the Iga ninja. Although the story is set in the world of ninjas, it has the power to draw viewers in by depicting universal themes such as human drama, friendship, and growth.

In addition, the historical background of the conflict between Iga and Koga is skillfully incorporated to add depth to the story. The characters are also rich in personality, and Ichigo's childhood friend, Kurenaiyuki, and the strongest active ninja, Kaga Tokisada, have a particularly strong presence. Music is also an important element in bringing excitement to the story, and the opening theme "Hikari" and the ending theme "Oboetate" have melodies and lyrics that resonate with viewers and enhance the worldview of the work. The talents of the staff, including director Shu Watanabe, scriptwriter Mizuto Takano, and character designer Isamu Suzuki, are also outstanding, and TROYCA's production skills are fully demonstrated.
