What do a struggling L.A. actor and a beautiful female ninja have in common? Find out in our new weekly serial manga, “The Ninja Diaries,” launching this week in Metromix. It's the classic boy-meets-girl story, only in this case the girl also happens to be a deadly assassin. Each week Metromix will feature a new installment of the series, both in print (free from news boxes around L.A.) and here on metromix.com, where you'll also find special Web exclusives (such as our Q&A with the artist below).
Also this week: We chat with the chairman of the mixing boards, Danger Mouse; go behind the scenes at Hollywood's new Kress nightclub; hail the new Echo Park boutique Taxi CDC; sample the pan-Asian plates at RockSugar; go cirque berzerk; and fix your love life in Hot & Bothered.
