Sentai Filmworks Licenses Guardian Ninja Mamoru Anime

Sentai Filmworks announced on Wednesday that it has licensed the anime Guardian Ninja Mamoru (Kage kara Mamoru!) and plans to release the series digitally and on home video.

The anime aired in 2006. Sentai Filmworks describes the story:

Looks can often be deceiving, and the phrase has never rang more true than with the case of Kagemori Mamoru. Behind the frail, hapless and definitely nerdy Kagemori's thick glasses and unkempt hair lies a master in the ways of the ninja, he secretly watches over and is in service to his “neighbors”, the Konnyaku family, who have been under his family's protection for the past 400 years! Yuuna, the young daughter of the Konnyaku family is Mamoru's responsibility and has been since they were both in kindergarten. Luckily for Yuuna, whenever she finds herself in trouble, her secret savior is never too far away! The adventures never end as Mamoru goes from nerdy to ninja in Guardian Ninja Mamoru!

DrMaster released part of the original manga in English as Mamoru the Shadow Protector. Taro Achi wrote and Madarasai drew the series.
