This whimsical action-fantasy tells the story of Yamada Shintaro, who, although a seemingly average, everyday, good-looking, teen fighter of the supernatural horrors of the night, is, in fact, the world’s latest Monster Guardian. Appointed to protect the Earth’s dwindling and endangered un-natural species, he finds himself annoyingly embroiled in a budding relationship with the distractingly attractive Nao, a human girl who attends his high-school.
Played for laughs and action in equal measure, with distractions to a peaceful, romantic life as diverse as the High School Occult Club, defeated Monster-hunters who refuse to stay dead and a persistently determined hottie/exorcist who won’t take a hint, this is an above-average teen-romp that will nicely fill the gaping gap in your dire life since Buffy stopped filming new episodes.
