The Review
Contents: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
A series doesn’t have to be original to be good; which fact is a lucky thing for Mamotte Shugogetten, because “original” is one of the last words you could use to describe it. It will remind readers who pick it up of one other series at least in its premise, and many other romantic comedies in its smaller details. Mamotte Shugogetten could have been good anyway. Unfortunately, it’s one of those books that often seems just about to become good but keeps getting derailed.
