Denshin Mamotte Shugogetten! (OVA, Sequel)

Guardian Angel Getten (まもって守護月天!, Mamotte Shugogetten!^?) is a manga by Sakurano Minene which ran in the monthly magazine Shounen GanGan. The manga was adapted into an anime which was produced by Toei Animation.^[1] An OVA Denshin Mamotte Shugogetten was released in 2000.

The story involves Tasuke Shichiri, a 14-year-old boy that receives a gift from his father, Tarousuke, who is traveling in China. The gift is a ring, the shitenrin, and those pure of heart may gaze into it and receive a moon goddess named Shaolin.

The manga and anime bear similarities to Oh My Goddess! in plot and characters. The manga was mysteriously discontinued after volume 11 and put on hiatus. It has since moved to another manga company and serialization has continued, under the title "Mamotte Shugogetten Retrouvailles"

A simmlar turn of events happened in its US adaptation via Raijin Comics however, since Gutsoon folded, no such attempts to re-licence the series has been made.

[edit] Characters

Shaolin (守護月天小璘, Shugogetten Shaorin^?), who wears Chinese styled costumes, has little understanding of the human world after spending a few thousand years in confines of the ring. Throughout the anime her purpose is to protect Tasuke and she does so by summoning different assistants called hoshigami (星神, literally "star gods") through the ring. She initially causes trouble for Tasuke by destroying harmless household objects in her efforts to protect Tasuke. After destroying some of the school she is banned from going there. Because of this, Shaolin sends Rishuu to protect Tasuke at school.

Tasuke Shichiri (七梨太助, Shichiri Tasuke^?), the main character, is a highschool student, son of a globe trotting archiologist father. Because his father travels and his mother is deceased he lives alone in his two story home at the beginning of the story. He is decisive and intelligent, but nonetheless beleaguered and is a similar character to Keiichi Morisato in both personality and situation.

Keikounitten Ruuan (慶幸日天汝昴, Keikōnitten Rūan^?) is freed from a wand artifact, the kokutentou, by Tasuke, found in the same area as the ring that summoned Shaloin and sent to Tasuke by his father. Ruuan's role as opposed to Shaolin's is not to protect Tasuke but instead make him happy which she does by giving inanimate objects life to do her bidding. Ruuan and Shao are sworn rivals and conflict occurs often as their roles of keeping Tasuke "safe" or "happy" aren't always equivalent.

Rishu (離珠, Rishu^?) the tiny, pink-haired, telepathic hoshigami of Shaolin is given to Tasuke when he attents school. She is unable to speak at an audible volume to Tasuke so she communicates by drawing cartoons on palm cards with a paintbrush. She has a cute way of speaking. She says "deshi" instead of "desu" and calls Tasuke "Tasuke-shama".

Bannanchiten Kiryū (万難地天紀柳, Bannanchiten Kiryū^?) is freed from a small Chinese fan, also sent by Tasuke's father. Her role is to put her master through trials by making things grow to several times their normal size. In the animation, she only appears in the Denshin Mamotte Shugogetten OVA.

Izumo Miyauchi (宮内出雲, Miyauchi Izumo^?) from the local Shinto shrine is in love with Shaolin.

Kouichirou Endou (遠藤乎一郎, Endō Kōichirō^?) and Takashi Nomura (野村たかし, Nomura Takashi^?) are Tasuke's classmates who are in love with Ruuan and Shaolin respectively.

Kaori Aihara (愛原花織, Aihara Kaori^?) is a junior at the school which Tasuke attends. She is jealous of Shaolin and Ruuan and falls in love with Tasuke.

Shoko Yamanobe (山野辺翔子, Yamanobe Shōko^?) starts out as a delinquent girl,but after befriending Shaolin,decides to bring her and Tasuke together.

Rinrin (, Rinrin^?) was one of Shao's previous master, who was hurt on Christmas, while she was getting Shao a gift

[edit] Trivia

In an episode where Tasuke's sister, Kana returns, her first scene featured her drinking coffee from a coffee can with the brand called "Tasuke". The logo illusration on the can was indeed, Tasuke's face.
