Omamori Himari (おまもりひまり, "Protective Charm Himari"), also known as OmaHima (おまひま) for short, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Milan Matra. The story revolves around Yuto Amakawa, an orphan who, on his sixteenth birthday, meets Himari, a cat spirit samurai girl who has sworn an oath to protect Yuto from the various monsters and demons that are out to kill him.

Omamori Himari ran in Fujimi Shobo's Monthly Dragon Age from June 2006 to September 2013,[1] and twelve tankōbon volumes were published between February 7, 2007 and November 9, 2013. A four-panel spinoff also ran in Dragon Age from November 2009 to November 2010, and a light novel adaptation by Kougetsu Mikazuki was serialized in Dragon Magazine, with four volumes released from July 2008 to January 2010. A 12-episode anime adaptation by Zexcs aired in Japan between January and March 2010 on TV Saitama, Chiba TV, and other networks. The manga is licensed in North America by Yen Press, with the first volume published on October 26, 2010.
