Teru Teru x Shonen

Before moving away from her rural hometown to study in the city, six-year-old Shinobu asked her childhood friend Saizou to become strong enough to protect her one day. Ten years later, sixteen-year-old Shinobu is happily settled into student life at Tokyo Private Imperial Academy. Her routine is upended when a new male transfer student arrives, revealed to be none other than Saizou himself. While his looks remain largely familiar, Saizou is now an accomplished ninja. His reappearance is remarkably well-timed: an unknown assailant is targeting Shinobu for reasons no one yet understands. While Saizou is determined to become something more than just a bodyguard to his childhood friend, he soon discovers he might be facing competition.
