The first promotional video for A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof has been released, offering a preview of Shaft's take on the manga series. The trailer highlights the show's blend of everyday life and extraordinary circumstances, centering on Konoha Koga, a high school girl moonlighting as an assassin, and Satoko Kusagukare, a fugitive ninja.
Produced by Shaft, known for its distinctive visual style in series like Monogatari and Madoka Magica, the anime appears poised to lean into the surreal and slapstick elements of its source material. The synopsis suggests a comedic partnership forms when Konoha offers Satoko shelter in exchange for her unique corpse-disposal skills, setting the stage for urban chaos and unlikely cohabitation.
The series, adapted from the manga of the same name, is slated for a 12-episode run in Spring 2025. With a MAL score of 7.6, the anime will explore themes of assassins, ninjas, and LGBTQ+ relationships within a comedic, urban setting.
