You watch much anime, hon? Ever watched the Naruto anime? This will give you an idea of what you're getting into. :) I've seen a goodly portion of the anime but certainly not all of it. It's a long series. But this MSN group has the manga if you're interested in checking it out. :) Indeed it is about ninjas, but probably not exactly the type of ninjas you're used to. :)
