Omamori Himari

Synopsis

In the city where Yuuto Amakawa lives, his life is fairly ordinary aside from his cat allergies and attending school with his neighbor, Rinko. However, everything takes a dramatic turn on his 16th birthday when an Ayakashi, a supernatural creature, attacks him due to his ancestors' misdeeds. Himari, a secretive swordswoman with cat ears, saves him and reveals that Yuuto is destined to carry on his family's legacy as a demon hunter. With the protective charm that shielded him from the supernatural now failing, Himari must become his guardian. "Omamori Himari" chronicles Yuuto's journey as he faces numerous supernatural threats and deals with a growing group of women who come into his life, each with their own sinister motives. Will Yuuto embrace this new and exciting existence, or will the sins of his ancestors haunt him?
