The original work is an official novelization released in 2013!
The story development is serious! The main character of the story is...... Doi Hansuke-Sensei!?

Wow! So, Failure Ninja Rantarou was originally a manga, but there was also a novel version!

Exactly! I didn't know either, but it turns out this novel version was officially novelized in 2013, with illustrations by the original creator Amako Soubee-Sensei, and the script by Sakaguchi Kazuhisa-Sensei, who worked on scripts for the anime version and others!

I see, so the novel version is going to be released as a theatrical anime in December 2024, huh.

Yes! This novel version has a quite serious storyline, something that could only be depicted in a novel version! It's a bit too heavy for the anime version that even small children watch, and fans had been hoping for its adaptation but had almost given up...... so they were very pleased with the news of this theatrical release!

The greatest crisis of Ninja Academy!?
Doi-Sensei has gone missing, and there are ominous movements within the Dokutake ninja team, which is hostile!

What!? Doi-Sensei goes missing!? And at such a critical time, the two usually hostile forces are starting to make significant moves...... Indeed, this might be serious. It feels like it's going to be quite a serious story.

Yes! It's a world of Failure Ninja Rantarou, different from the anime version, supervised by the original author! It's exciting to see how it will be portrayed! Since it's scheduled for release in December 2024, those interested should definitely try reading the novel version first!
