About book Nabari No Ou, Vol. 1 (2009)

I read the first volume of this series as a fan translation earlier and found it intriguing enough to order the real thing. I enjoyed it even more the second time around, and yes, apparently I'm all about ninja and samurai these days (HOW DID THAT HAPPEN), but in any case, this is a fun and promising series. The protagonist is a rather apathetic character who for some reason or other carries the ultimate power of the ninja world inside his body and finds himself involved with a ninja power struggle. I admit I *love* that kind of character who doesn't seem to show or have any feelings, and it helps that he's cute as a button. The art is lovely, and there's good balance between humour, action and emotions, and the characters all are interesting and potentially loveable. While I found the way Yen Press translates the sound effects a bit odd at first, I am now quite fond of the fact that they do a romaji transcription and a translation while leaving the original Japanese. I also like their annotations; I am really quite fond of translations that offer a bit of additional explanations. Reading this manga was like pulling teeth. First of all, there is nothing new under the sun with the whole "You have a magical secret power inside you". It strikes as a bit of a Naruto knockoff, especially once he is surrounded by friends with fighting skills and an exceptionally devoted teacher. But the problem with this book really is the main character. The whole point is that the main character doesn't care. I mean, really is apathetic. Not apathetic and funny or apathetic but brave when he needs to be. But just doesn't care and BORING. Oh so BORING. And it makes it hard for me to get into this story. I don't care why Miharu is so indifferent. I just want him to go away. I will not be reading the second volume.
