Remember the manga we said we were gonna write for Metromix?

Well, it's called Ninja Diaries.  It's part romantic comedy, part ninja adventure.  We won't spoil too much, but it's about a kunoichi (female ninja) sent to Los Angeles to find a lost legendary ninja in the most unlikely place.

We have fun both showing our love for Los Angeles, and skewering it a tiny bit.  Plus, as chronicled in an earlier post, we both love ninja (especially Christina).

It's a weekly manga (one page a week, except for the first week) that debuts in the July 23rd issue of Metromix (in which we'll be the cover story and will get 3, maybe 4, pages to get the story rolling).

And to celebrate, Metromix is having a launch party at Secret Headquarters, a comic shop people have been hyping to us for years.  We've been told this place is awesome, so we're pretty excited to check it out.

The launch party is on Thursday, July 17th at 8pm.  You have to rsvp to rsvpla@metromix.com.

But if you're interested in Ninja Diaries, or in a fun weekly manga by us, or in ninja in general (especially those who are sent to Los Angeles on fun fish-out-of-water missions!) then check out Ninja Diaries in Metromix (the back 'issues' will be posted on metromix.com starting in a few weeks and also occasionally collected - ulp - in the Los Angeles Times).  And check out the launch party at Secret Headquarters.

Hope to see you there!

Or not see you, if you happen to be a ninja.
