The 2006 anime series Guardian Ninja Mamoru has arrived on HIDIVE, complete with English dub and subtitle options. This 12-episode comedy romance follows Kagemori Mamoru, a seemingly unremarkable student who secretly upholds a 400-year-old family tradition: protecting the daughter of the Konnyaku family, Yuuna.
When Yuuna finds herself in danger, Mamoru sheds his glasses and disheveled appearance to become a skilled ninja, often with comedic and romantic complications. The series is an adaptation of the manga by Kage kara Mamoru! and was animated by Group TAC, known for their work on various anime series throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
As a finished series from the Winter 2006 season, Guardian Ninja Mamoru offers a complete, albeit older, romantic comedy experience. Its premise leans into the 'secret identity' trope with a ninja twist, blending action with the developing relationship between the two leads.
