Mamoru the Shadow Protector – Epic Manga to Return After 6 Years

Mamoru the Shadow Protector, an extremely popular manga, is expected to return after a 6-year hiatus. 

Kadokawa’s Monthly Comic Alive magazine revealed on the 27th of August that Madara’s manga, Mamoru the Shadow Protector, will be returning in September. The most recent volume of this manga was released around six years ago. 

After the anime adaptation, known as Guardian Ninja Mamoru, grew in popularity, the manga had also started receiving traction. But after a 6-year break, fans had lost all hope for the manga’s return.

However, Mamoru the Shadow Protector will be making a return on September the 27th. 

At the end of the last manga issue, we saw Mamoru‘s troublesome relative, his secret sister,  joining his school without warning. She’s already caused a high stir in the school. I can’t wait to see how much trouble she causes with the next issue. 

This anime follows the life of Mamoru Kagemori, a dull high schooler who seems like he’s nothing but useless. However, appearances are often deceiving.

Mamoru is, in reality, the eldest son of the Konnyaku clan. A 400-year-old ninja clan that specializes in protecting others. 

Mamoru has the troublesome task of protecting Yuna, a clumsy and absent-minded teen who does nothing but get into trouble all the time. 

As new characters enter their lives, crazy adventures, hilarious encounters, and a few of the strangest enemies come their way. 

The original light novel for the series was released from 2003 to 2006, almost two decades back. He also created a sequel series that was released in 2010.
