Story and Premise
A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof centers on the unlikely cohabitation of Satoko Kusagakure, a naive female ninja (kunoichi) who escaped her village, and Konoha Koga, a seemingly ordinary high school student who is secretly an assassin.
The Plot Thickens
One day, Konoha rescues Satoko from pursuers sent by her village. To Satoko’s surprise, Konoha skillfully deals with them, revealing her true identity as an assassin. This leads to the two girls living together, with Konoha providing Satoko a place to stay in exchange for Satoko’s help in cleaning up after Konoha’s assassination jobs. The series follows their heartwarming yet chaotic lives as they face off against assassins, navigate their unusual living situation, and share delicious meals earned from Konoha’s work.
A Comedy of Contrasts
The premise sets the stage for a comedy filled with action, slice-of-life moments, and the contrast between Satoko’s traditional ninja upbringing and Konoha’s modern assassin lifestyle. The series explores themes of friendship, adaptation, and finding common ground in the most unexpected circumstances.
