Mail Order Ninja is an original English-language (OEL) manga written by Joshua Elder and illustrated by Erich Owen.

The story starts with ten-year-old Timmy McAllister, a boy living in the small town of Cherry Creek, Indiana.

He wins and in a few weeks later his favorite ninja hero, Jiro Yoshida, arrives in the mail; thus the title.

His main bullies are Brock Breckenridge, Felicity Dominique Huntington, and even his own sister, Lindsay.

His favorite food is chocolate chip pancakes made by his mother, and he seems to be a manga reader, his favorite "graphic novel" being Ninja Warrior Gunshyo (Ninja Warrior Gunshyo is seen to be published by TOKYOPOP as a joke in the manga).

Jiro once had a promising music career and was dubbed the "Japanese Barry Manilow" by critics.

Felicity Dominique Huntington: The stereotypical rich girl of the series, she is Timmy's most harmful nemesis.

She is at the top of their school's social rank, being reigning Little Miss Cherry Creek and sporting a new outfit (designer brands such as Versace, Armani and Gucci) every day.

Their names are the ones of Romulus and Remus Wolf, mythological twins and the supposed founders of Rome.

She seems to do all of Felicity's minor tasks such as carrying her possessions in school or dusting off her show and tell objects.

Hakuryuu Nobunaga: Jiro's rival, who is the leader of the White Dragon Clan.

Surprisingly, he is also experienced in the law field and once sued his own mother because he simply did not like the birthday present she got him.
