Puppet princess is a short, but enjoyable action/comedy involving an interesting premise, puppet ninjas in feudal Japan. I found this manga because I enjoyed the anime and wanted to see if the manga did anything better, but much to my surprise the anime is superior. Watch the 40 min anime adaptaion because: *It's art is much better *It's animated well, including lots of turning gears and enjoyable fights *it's a complete adaptation *its dubbed (if you enjoy dubs) Since the story is the same, I cant exactly give this a bad score, but all of the reasons why I find the anime to be enjoyable are not present here.
