Need to read more.
Interesting concept, and nice art.
Only need more progress in MC growth, not a common villain troupe/other character and more interesting plot+"plot", to be a masterpiece.

did she really had to be an annoying lesbian? Why is this type of character used so much on mangas these days, the man hating, over aggressive, not important and comic relief type?

@criver you have an issue with fanservice in an ecchi manga? I mean, that's the same as having an issue with romantic relationships in romance, journeys in adventure, gag in comedy... For now I can accept the MC though, since he wants to change himself.

@jokerxhisoka @criver Both this violent women and pathetic MC somehow makes me more pissed off. Though he decided to change to the better, it doesn't change the fact that I still don't like how everything is going on right now, don't ask me why cuz I'm not sure why myself.

Really don't like hazing as a "test", getting beaten to an inch of your life seems like a really poor way to test someone.

They don't have much of a choice anyway, they have to keep an eye on him somehow given his role as a vessel. Might as well just train the guy first and try putting him in real situations after that. Then they make the deliberation on what to do with him. I finished this chapter thinking that the author just got his MC beat up for no real reason.

Also, I'm not sure what the author was going for here. Was I supposed to feel sympathetic for the MC? All I'm feeling right now is incredulity. Maybe I missed something, but I don't quite understand why he wants to be a ninja. I can make a reasonable guess as to why he'd want to be one, but usually the protagonist's motivations would be plain as day at this point in the story where he's making a life-changing decision that jump-starts the plot.

Edit: I forgot to mention, the lesbian leader reveal feels so fucking mistimed. I don't mind the weird lesbo trope but leave it out of what's supposed to be an important scene please. So ridiculous.

I like the concept of ability in this one, but i will be sincere the story isn't clicking right with me, the dialogue is forced and predictable, the characters too are a little... bland, i mean why would that MC just resolve from nothing to want to turn in a shinobi i just don't feel that there is something in his character to simply do that.

Well i do recognize that it is only two chapters but the story feels to me in the best a 6/10, i will continue reading to see what it becomes if to chapter 10 this doesn't surprise me i will stop

While MC want to be a "Shinobi" because of Sakuya, but the reasoning and resolve for it are too bland to me. though I can get it that you don't wanna go back being afraid of the dark and all again with Sakuya gone. At the very least, put some serious dialogue that the readers can empathize with. Not some generic bland characters, forced gags with unnecessary forced fan services(I know it's Ecchi genre, but still put it in the right spots, not all the time). Plus, the forced hazing part totally ruined the chapter and the great impression I felt when I read the first chapter.

The whole chapter look like watching key points. Although the key points are important, without the subtle yet necessary inbetween(s) to supplement the story, it's just pointless to look at.
