Story about the real ninja: Ninja Attack!

Naruto, Afro Samurai, Shuriken School... Nice and funny to watch and read, but how much do we really know about Ninjas? Yes, i am also too lazy to read history books about it, but just now I've read in Asahi that publisher Kodansha International Ltd has released the nicely illustrated book Ninja Attack! True Tales of Assassins, Samurai, and Outlaws. This book gives the reader information about the history, culture and real life stories of ninjas, as well as fighting techniques, costumes, weapons and houses. It is a 192-page book (!), but with the writing-style and the nice full-color illustrations, I am sure that a lazy Jumi, will enjoy reading this special history book (without falling asleep).

The book will be available in the US and Europe this fall.
