Fact check: A manga called “Ninin ga Shinobuden” or “Ninja Nonsense”, with physical copies that are hard to find, let alone an English translation of the series.

1. Summary of the results

1. Summary of the results:

The statement about "Ninin ga Shinobuden" being hard to find and lacking English translation is incorrect. The manga was officially released in English by Infinity Studios between May 2006 and April 2008, with four complete tankōbon volumes. The series has also received multiple releases and adaptations, including a 12-episode anime that has been released several times, most recently in 2020 by Frontier Works.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints:

The original statement omits several crucial pieces of information:

• The manga had a complete run from August 2000 to March 2006
• A sequel manga titled "Ninin ga Shinobuden Plus" was launched in June 2020
• The anime adaptation received multiple releases, including a DVD box set (2007) and Blu-ray collection (2018)
• Right Stuf International handled the North American distribution of the anime series
• The series is specifically an absurdist comedy focusing on a ninja apprentice named Shinobu

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement:

The statement appears to be based on outdated or incomplete information about the manga's availability. It creates a false impression of scarcity when the series has actually received multiple official releases and translations. The claim about English translations being particularly hard to find is directly contradicted by the documented release history through Infinity Studios. This type of misinformation could potentially benefit secondary market sellers who might use perceived scarcity to inflate prices of existing copies.
