Brian Asman2021
Disgraced ex-ninja Nunchuck "Nick" Nikolopoulis just wants to open a drive-thru fondue restaurant with his best friend Rondell. But when an old enemy kidnaps the mayor, and a former flame arrives in hot pursuit, Nick's going to have to dust off his fighting skills and face his past. Plus an army of heavily-armed ninjas, a very well-dressed street gang, an Australian sumo wrestler with a gnarly skin condition, giant robots, municipal paperwork, and much, much more! From the rooftops to the sewers, Nick and his ex-girlfriend Kanna Kikuchi are in for the fight of their lives!

Thank you to Brian Asman for providing me with a copy of Nunchuck City in exchange for an honest review! I understand how this one might not be for everyone, especially if you’re not a fan of in-your-face humor, but hear me out: Nunchuck City has ninjas, it has fondue, it stars a fun cast, it has romance, and it has a never give up on your dreams message. It has everything a good story needs. One thing for certain is that there is not a second of dullness in this ninjitsu adventure. Every page has something happening & some kind of ridiculous laugh-out-loud line. My copy of Nunchuck City is extremely tabbed up, because I just had to mark all of the moments that had me cracking it down. Brian Asman’s writing is so casual and entertaining, it felt as if a friend was rehashing a story to me IRL. Also, Asman’s casual writing style includes a lot of “fucks” & personally, I vibed with it. I have absolutely no complaints when it comes to Nunchuck City, because even what one could consider “bad” is absolutely phenomenal to me. No doubt Nunchuck City is ridiculous and there are time when the story and characters are flat-out-dumb, but that’s what I’m here for. Life’s too short to not read about an ex-ninja going on an adventure to open up a fondue shop. Warning: It’s possible that you will have “Paradise City” by Guns n’ Roses stuck in your head before, while & after reading Nunchuck City. There’s also a bonus short story at the end written by Lucas Mangum titled “Curse of the Ninja,” which is just as entertaining as Nunchuck City & is a perfect bonus for the horror audience!
