I got to play this as a Demo at GEnCon2017 and it was alot of Fun :) The system was Rather easy to pick up once you got into the game. The group i got to play with was fun and made me laugh. Hope there's another Demo for 2018!

Review of the Hardback Edition I saw this was using the D6 System as developed by my all time favourite RPG company West End Games so went for the hardback/PDF option on whim and boy, am I glad I did. I had no prior knowledge of the setting until I saw the rules and it dragged me right in. The d6 system meshes well with Manga and the end result is a very good and entertaining product. The quality of the writing style is good. The use of art works well to illustrate the game and is far from gratuitous. I guess the best way to describe it, if I have to compare it to other products, is a WEG D6 version of Talsorian's Teenagers From Outer Space and GURPS IOU but with more action and, actually, potentially more humour. If you want to play school age humans, aliens, space princesses and the titicular ninjas then this WILL be for you. I am really looking forward to running this more often. Great job Battlefield

5 for quality 5 for writing 5 for rules usage 5 Overall

Probably 3.5 stars if I'm honest. It's not bad but... see that blurb above this review? The one about the product? At the time of me writing this review it's about 80% based on the history of Ninja High School and 20% on the Ninja High School RPG, mostly stating that this is an RPG. That's kind of the attitude I think that was brought to making this product.

I don't actually have too many complaints about the RPG. It's a simple, solid adaptation with enough background info to get you into the world and enough rules detail to get someone new to RPG's started. There are some technical errors that caused me to raise my eyebrows but nothing egregious. But at the end of the day you'll look over it and get the feeling this was knocked together as a quick cash in: take Ninja High School, copy and paste together the d6 rules, put up some stats for some of the recognizable characters, throw in a page and a half of plot seeds then sell. Yeah, that's all there pretty much is to this.

Now, don't get me wrong, a competent GM (sorry, Principal) and/or fan of the series should be able to work with this. The basics are all there and they are usable. Hence why this gets the three star rating. But you get the feeling the company didn't actually care about this product and that in turn discourages you from playing it unless you bring in some real enthusiasm before you crack it open. Just know that you're dealing with a product that forgot to do things like check where Professor Steamhead's Intellect was before printing his stats.
