 "Jubei-chan the Ninja Girl" is |
| a 13-episode anime series |
| about the relationship between |
| a precocious 8th grader, Jiyu |
| Nanohana, and her father, Sai. |
| After the death of his wife, |
| Sai tries to strengthen the |
| relationship between him and |
| Jiyu. However, it turns out |
| that Jiyu is the successor to |
| the legendary swordsman, Yagyu |
| Jubei and transforms into a |
| ninja when she puts on a |
| heart-shaped eye-patch and |
| bears the responsibility of |
| ending a 300 year-old grudge. |
| As she tries to comes to term |
| with her role, she also has to |
| deal with what teenage girl |
| has to deal with, other guys. |
| Being well-developed for her |
| age, everyone goes crazy over |
| her looks and results in very |
| funny situations. |
| |
| While the plot to Jubei-chan |
| is somewhat simple, I enjoyed |
| it. The story paces well and |
| is well written from start to |
| finish with just the right |
| amount of seriousness and |
| humor. |
