JK Kunoichi wa Subete wo Sasagetai is a hentai comedy manga by Umechazuke. Its Tamer and Chaster version, titled The Tale of a High School Ninja
, was localized in English by Pocket Comics.
The story follows Kohana, an apprentice ninja who takes her work very seriously- partly because of her crush on the lord she serves, and partly because of her boundless energy. When she hears a dangerous mission is coming up in a few months, she eagerly volunteers...
...only to learn the mission involves posing as a married couple. Something that Kohana, who has no experience of dating, could never convincingly do. Hoping to dissuade her, fellow student Toranosuke suggests they have sex to practice for the mission. Much to his surprise, Kohana agrees.
Naturally, they fall in love over the course of many misunderstandings and hurt feelings.
This series contains the following tropes:
- Courtly Love: A one-sided example. Kohana has no intention of acting on her attraction to her (happily-married) lord, seeing such as "beneath [her] honor as a ninja", though she doesn't keep it secret from her peers. The story portrays it as a Precocious Crush that Kohana outgrows as she becomes attracted to a boy her own age.
- Ninja School: Averted; the school is for ninjas, but more like an actual school than the trope example. They have grades and a curriculum, it's just that both are pretty weird and involve a lot of physical training.
- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: Kohana is enthusiastic and ambitious; Toranosuke is a coolheaded, more experienced boy who rarely admits to caring about anything.
