Kage Kara Mamoru!

The Kagemori family has been guarding another family, Konnyaku, for 400 years. And Mamoru from the Kagemori family became Yuna’s protector from the Konnyaku family since kindergarten. As soon as Yuna is in trouble, Mamoru, under the guise of a ninja, must protect her. Unfortunately, Yuna is very distracted, clumsy, and therefore inclined to fall into such situations when she needs help from Mamor. However, Mamoru can sometimes overdo it too, for example, one day he throws a kunai into a makeshift airplane that fell on Yuna.

Once, when Yuna went with her friend to play bowling, the Yakuza kidnapped her. Mamoru follows them and saves Yuna.

Later, as the plot develops, new characters with good and evil intentions, new adventures and encounters with opponents appear. Naturally, romantic situations cannot be avoided, because Mamoru will soon have his own army of unwanted lovers.

Mamoru Kagemori ( 陰 守 マ モ ル Kagemori Mamoru ) is a sloppy boy with disheveled hair. He wears glasses with thick glasses, which in fact are a kind of disguise. Very lazy unless Yuna needs help. He is a member of the Kagemori family - the ninja clan, which for 400 years must protect the Konnyaku family. He reveals his true appearance when he takes off his glasses and changes into a ninja costume to protect Yuna from danger. He was friends with her and was with her in the same group, in kindergarten. Mamoru is afraid of bears, because in his childhood he once tried to protect Yamame from a bear. His name from the Japanese translation means "protection."
