About this Collection
This pocket-sized manga collects the first story arc of Ben Dunn's long-running series, blending high school comedy with ninja action. It follows the adventures of Jeremy Feeple, an ordinary teenager whose life is turned upside down when he becomes entangled with warring ninja clans and alien princesses attending his school. The volume includes the early chapters that establish the series' signature mix of slapstick humor and martial arts mayhem.
In "The Reluctant Princess," Professor Steamhead stages a dramatic contest to decide between Asrial and Ichi for Jeremy’s hand, but Lendo hijacks the moment—abducting the professor and Jeremy, then replacing them with eerily precise robots. Written and drawn by Ben Dunn, with inks by Carlos Castro, Yauping, and Fabian Doles, and lettering by Punjab and Phil Deadshot, this 2003 pocket manga issue delivers a quirky, high-stakes twist on romance and rivalry. The cover, penciled and inked by Ben Dunn, captures the tension with a bold, stylized showdown.
