"Kasumi Kogen, the so called Village of Mist, is a town located somewhere in a tasteful and rural place in Japan. In this town, there is a training school. Surprisingly, it is the Sinobi Gakuen, a training school of kunoichi, or the female ninja. It gathers competent students from all over Japan to train them to become kunoichi. Needless to say, the villagers are alumni of the school, and they run and jump, appear and disappear, as if the whole town were a big ninja house.

To this strange town, there came a girl and a man. The girl is Himawari who wants to be a ninja and respect “Ichikawa Raiso” as her master, and she came here to enter Shinobi Gakuen. The man is a new assigned teacher Marikoji Hayato. He was deceived into paying money and came here to repay his debts.

They encounter in this Village of Myst. Whether their encounter is by chance or inevitable? A teacher and his student. Forbidden Love? Other students like Azami, Skimi, Himeji, Yusu wait and see their situation secretly.

Whether can Himawari become a full-fledged Kunoichi?
Whether can she protect her master?"

Watched the first episode, I think many of you will like it, especially if you like a fun series about a ninja academy and such. The animation is pretty good in my opinion, and the characters seem interesting.

After the start of the episode I got the impression that the main character was overly important, with special abilities like a lot of other anime. But when the Ninjas referred to themselves all as test tube babies (I don't really know if they were including the main character knowing she was one too or not) I was thinking maybe she's just the same as them. Either way it's interesting seeing as how she seems so out of place in the group being that she's not really good at all.
Something that I find with this anime is that the voices seem very different, or unique in a way. No idea why, maybe they just used new voice actors, but I like how they sounded.
I also liked how they made the ninja movies to be like normal non-fantasy movies, and something you can learn from, kinda made it more realistic.

Himawari herself is a new seiyuu, but I've heard most of the others elsewhere.

I enjoyed the first eps. It has a lot of potential. It might not be the funniest series this season, but I've been missing a good ninja series since I stopped watching Naruto.

First ep wasn't too bad. I can only imagine what the poor teacher is going to have to put up with throughout the series though... I'll probably keep watching this one as well.
