Ninja ni Kekkon wa Muzukashii

Although the Nanao action comedy “Ninja ni Kekkon wa Muzukashii” was pretty high on my list of “Want to Watch” dramas from the past season,  now that they’re finally getting around to subbing it, I must confess it hasn’t really been wowing me.

I know they were going for a “Lupin No Musume” vibe, with all the secret identity action going on, but in execution it struck me more like the recent Mitsuki Takahata vampire Comedy, which you may recall I felt very slapdash in its take, as if it were a high school production rather than a professionally produced drama. But that’s just my feel.

Nanano plays Hotaru Kusakari, a pharmacist struggling with her marriage to her husband Goro (Nobuyuki Suzuki), a Postal Worker, who never seems to understand her feelings and what she wants.

Their differences have made the two even consider divorce, but what neither of them know is that their significant others are BOTH part of clashing Ninja Clans, and when they’re not bickering at home about housework , they’re covertly duking it out on the battlefield!

I was expecting  action-packed laugh out loud comedy, but so far I feel it's been a fairly mundane affair. As you can see, it wasn't even enough for me to bother screencapping! Too bad because I love most of the actors and actresses in this, including Maika Yamamoto, Rie Tomosaka and even Alice Hirose as Nanano's point-man!  Seriously, this cast is almost TAILOR MADE for me!

Ya know with the talent involved, I'll be sticking around....Guess we’ll see how this one goes!
