[Nikoushikou (Nekosaki Aoi)] Onna Ninja no Yojinbo (Kunoichi Tsubaki no Mune no Uchi)

Tsubaki, a ponytailed kunoichi in bike shorts, is thrust into a fast, absurd night patrol when a startled man mistakes her for a “typical man,” leaving her practiced stealth tangled with his helpless confusion. The search for “big sis” moves through a frightened rustic setting, bizarre figures, and an awkward reunion that makes Tsubaki wonder what she is doing when she thinks she is alone. Rendered in rough black-and-white panels with lively expressions, shouted dialogue, and physical comedy, her stern sense of duty keeps colliding with the stranger’s impulsive charm and the chaotic people who keep needing her help.
