In "Crossroads," the latest chapter of Ninja High School, the debate heats up when the students confront the cultural implications of The Mikado, questioning whether it's a misrepresentation of Japanese traditions or a sharp satire of British societal norms. Written by Kurt Wilcken and illustrated by Ken Lowe—with lettering and inking by Lowe, and a cover by Ben Dunn—this 1996 issue blends academic curiosity with the series’ signature mix of humor and intrigue.
