Mamoru-kun is a cute little romantic comedy that is often overlooked. It's not really a masterpiece that's going to end up on a lot of people's top-10 lists, but it's quite enjoyable for what it is. I'd put it in the same category as Kamisama Kazoku and Midori no Hibi - light romantic comedy that's not meant to be taken too seriously.
The very first thing you need to figure out is if you are able to accept the concept of a male lead who looks like he's 10 years old. Some people have a hard time accepting Mamoru and if you feel the same way, you're not going to be able to get very far into the show.
The characters as a whole were very entertaining. Ayako does her take on a different type of tsundere. The student council support staff each have their quirks and each bring a little something to the show. I loved that they "borrowed" the student council girls for some funny temporary harem situations, but on the whole the story focused on Mamoru and Ayako.
The humor in the show was better and more innovative than I was expecting. That's not to say the show doesn't indulge in a lot of school life romance cliches, but they love throwing little unexpected twists in there sometimes. One example is the obligatory onsen episode. They definitely take it in another direction and it's my favorite onsen episode in any romantic comedy anime.
The story was pretty decent as far as romantic comedies go. I thought the ending arc was pretty weak, though. What I did like was that the confession came in the first episode so we don't have to spend a whole series watching awkward school kids try to figure out how to confess to each other. The series instead spends its time showing how the two main characters develop the relationship.
So, to sum up, Mamoru-kun is an enjoyable romantic comedy for people looking for something in that genre. It's not a masterpiece, but it has enough good points to be a solid recommendation for folks looking for a romantic comedy. read more

One of the best romantic comedies in a sense. This is a very enjoyable series and has a bit of "magic" thrown in. From the start, Mamoru is kind of an ackward piece of anime, but gets much better the longer you watch it. Like the others that have written reviews already, this definitely belongs near the top of this category.
The story brings out the best of the characters in my eyes. The show doesn't stick straight to the oncoming disasters ahead, nor does it just show straight comedy with an added bit of romance. It gradually lets the characters grow and become a force to be reckoned with. haha. The ending is good, but could have been a little better in my eyes. Although, I can't really think of a way to change it to make it any better.
The artwork is pretty good. It wouldn't be at the same level as a Key animation but the anime keeps the "kawaii feel" while showing the awesome-ness of a magic (beatrice) anime.
The sound for the anime is decent and doesn't ruin the anime in the least, but it has little to be desired for. The only exeception that I liked from this anime is the music that is played during the different points of "showing off their skill with beatrice." The artwork becomes good at these points too, so be careful not to miss either part.
I'm not really good at conclusions, but this anime is a fun watch and is the masterpiece that isn't in the spot light. I only found it by chance! It is and isn't your typical romantic comedy in many ways, but I'm sure you'll understand that statement as you watch it!!! read more

Take a magically imbued school girl and mix in a short guy she can take advantage of.
Mamoru-kun ni Megami is the non-ecchi, non-hentai and altogether non-perverted version of Kanokon. They both have the same kinds of things going on: same characters, plot structure, art style and comedy. The only real difference between the two anime is the 'ecchiness' factor. Mamoru-Kun ni Megami is as 'innocent' and pure as Kanokon is ecchi and hentai.
If you like one, you'll most certainly like the other.
a really famous sempai that fell in love with the transfer student/kohai
started going out few episode later new girl arrive with white hair that also fell inlove with main character

Honestly I cannot believe no one made this recommendation sooner. 1st thing I told all my buddies after seeing episode one was if claymore and mamoru had a kid it would be freezing. All three have rediculously powerful female characters that transcend the normal limits of their world's understanding. Likewise all three main heroines have a significant relationship with a male character that becomes significant to the heroines fate in the story. Freezing is kind of balence for the other two. Where Claymore has the intense combat scenes, Mamoru focuses on the heroines inexperience with men and trying to overcome that with her first love.
Mamoru is mainly a school setting slice-of-life comedy with a touch of softcore ecchi.
Features that complex thingy with an older girl to a guy,
Both main guys have some strong law defying power,
Both main girls are extremely strong,
Special schools for people with special powers,
