Plot Overview

  • Shadow: A mysterious entity from another dimension who enables Mamoru to access extraordinary abilities.
  • Kouichi Sakakibara: Mamoru's best friend and confidant, who becomes increasingly entangled in Mamoru's nocturnal activities.
  • Akari Inoue: A skilled fighter and member of a secret organization, who becomes a valuable ally to Mamoru.

As the story progresses, Mamoru's "secret" life becomes increasingly crowded as he attracts a variety of female rivals and allies who eventually join his school: Airi Sawagashi

But tonight, he would eat his mother’s curry, laugh at his sister’s jokes, and pretend—just for a few hours—that he was nobody special. Kage kara Mamoru-
