Guardian Angel Getten

まもって守護月天！

Mamotte Shugogetten

At age fourteen, Shichiri Tasuke lives a pretty typical life as a middle school student, but he spends a lot of time by himself because his family is often overseas, leaving him alone and staying in touch mainly through occasional letters and postcards. His everyday existence changes drastically when he gets a magical ring called the Shitenrin from his father, who is in China. From the ring emerges Shao Lin, who introduces herself as Guardian Angel Getten and declares that her mission is to protect her new master from any danger and to stay by his side at all times. But after being trapped inside the Shitenrin for hundreds of years, Shao has no knowledge of the modern world, and she often ends up causing more problems than she solves. Tasuke must figure out how to manage his life with this charming, naive, and magical angel around.
