The art's nothing spectacular, doesn't really draw one in, and strikes me as simply another battle manga.
Storywise, it takes really long to develop. It goes on to a slow start, with pointless encounters between Recca and his friends-to-be. Kinda similar to katekyo hitman reborn. The motivation for many of the characters' actions aren't clear too, and are never explained properly. It strikes me as a really simple, mainstream manga, probably what it's intended to be. The familiar trend of enemies-turning-friend, an idea which has be done to death, persists in this manga. It in-fact feels overdone, with every enemy so far(8), except for those who died(1) and the mastermind of the recent arc(1).
The guys aren't particularly striking, nor do the girls have any personality that makes readers feel for them.
The ninja genre still seems interesting, although rather cliche. Generally, the trend of introducing clans, specialised weapons and powers is also observed in this ninja manga, making it a really boring work so far. The naming sense is boring though.
Still, it seems to have potential to build up. Since my friend said it was good, I'm gonna give it at try, at least up till chapter 100.
