Ninja Kid

My son who is ten years old enjoyed the book. As a parent too I was happy that it was a realistic story and exposes some of the bullying threats that may happen in a school in not the typical simplistic way but with all the complexities of life and friendship and then it had a good ending where the characters made the right choices… it also deals with the theme of being a new kid in an unfamiliar school. The ninja element of course created all the excitement, and I liked the little bit of fantasy feel that the book has.

In 2009, Die Antwoord (translated from Afrikaans as "the answer") burst onto the international scene out of the deep dark depths of South Africa. The rave rap duo of Ninja and ¥o-landi Vi$$er introduced zef culture into the pop culture lexicon, and pop culture hasn't been the same since. Early videos racked up a combined 35 million views, the band's website crashed due to the influx of traffic, and no one has been able to look at Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon art the same way again. In total their videos have over 250 million views and their albums are approaching a million in sales worldwide. In 2014, Donker Mag contained their next breakthrough tracks and remarkable videos. Now Die Antwoord release their next masterpiece - My Ninji And Da Nice Time Kid and the breakthrough video for 'Banana Brain'.

This fifth volume collects the epic-length "Blood Wings," in which Usagi battles a fearsome clan of ninja bats, while "Lone Goat and Kid" offers a cunning and affectionate parody of the famous "Lone Wolf and Cub" manga while doubling as one of Usagi's most dramatic and heartfelt adventures. "Frost and Fire" and "The Way of the Samurai" provide the psychological drama of this volume, which is rounded out by one of the most unique Usagi tales ever, "A Kite Story," which doubles as a fascinating look at the daily life and work of a 17th century Japanese kite maker, dramatically showcasing the thoroughness of Sakai's research and his skills as a storyteller.

A really raw, immediate and strangely beautiful album, much like the music it draws on for its inspiration. In attempting to outplay and out think the technology he is working with, he revives the unworldly oddness of blues music before it became a staple of beer adverts and the jam fantasies of middle aged marketing executives. This is the music, ripped and scratched and distressed until all those souls sold down the crossroads rise up and send shivers down your spine. It's that real and, yes, that made up.
