Mamotte Shugogetten (まもって守護月天!, Mamotte Shugogetten!) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Minene Sakurano which was serialized in the monthly magazine Shōnen GanGan from 1996 to 2000. A continuation was published in Comic Blade titled Mamotte Shugogetten! Retrouvailles (まもって守護月天! 再逢, Mamotte Shugogetten! Retoruba) from 2002 to 2005. The manga was adapted into a 22-episode anime television series produced by Toei Animation simply titled Shugogetten! (守護月天!) which aired from 1998 throughout 1999. An eight-episode OVA series, 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.

An English adaptation of the first manga was serialized in Raijin Comics under the English title Guardian Angel Getten. TOKYOPOP later licensed the manga under its original title, which began publication in April 2008. But Mamotte Shugogetten Retrouvailles has yet to be released in English.^[1]
