The shadows of Japan never truly faded. They just went corporate.
Following the aftermath of World War II, the Allied Command in Japan quietly established a covert agency designed to suppress terrorism and maintain stability across the Pacific region. Their weapon of choice? The ancient, deadly art of the ninja. What began as a small, domestic task force has evolved into a massive, secret bureaucracy commanding over 20,000 elite operatives embedded throughout modern society, handling both domestic and international threats.
Enter Kudo Kuro. To his peers, he is a textbook seventeen-year-old high school loser: unemployed, lazy, and completely invisible. But beneath his unremarkable exterior lies a trained operative of the secret ninja agency. When a dangerous influx of foreign assassins begins infiltrating Tokyo, Kudo is suddenly dragged from the couch and thrust onto the front lines. Can a modern-day teenage outcast defend the city from an underground war, or will the shadows swallow him whole?
