In the Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki

Cute girls doing cute things, Naruto style this time. Plus, the professional ninja Takagi…I mean Tsubaki, gets horny and that’s about all there is. I guess I was expecting better from Soichiro Yamamoto than this likable nothing with nice animation and music. I guess it's missing a guy. I imagine that some romance, which the author is quite good at, would have definitely benefited this show. As it is, it's just a fast-paced, passable show that is occasionally cute and occasionally funny, both of which less than I would have liked. The jokes are often simple, sometimes too repetitive (especially the ones about men), and I smiled about once per episode, which is not enough for me. I'm not sure if Tsubaki will see another season, and I'm only interested in it if there's a real confrontation with a man that leads somewhere. As it is, it's an unconvincing 5.6/10. Hopefully, Yamamoto's next work, which is coming out now, will be better. (02/07/2022)
