Because of her mother’s death, Sachie Wakamura lives with her grandpa. Her grandfather, who leads a gang, is concerned about her safety and decides she needs a bodyguard because she is his granddaughter!

It may have just been me, but there were a few parts where the panels seemed a little confusing. The series wasn’t as good as some others I’ve read, but I still liked it. Despite the confusion, the story was still engaging and kept me interested. It is unlikely that I will continue this series.
I could enjoy the story despite a few confusing panels and probably won’t continue the series.
