Posted by Noon Anime Team on November 28, 2025
Hold onto your student council badges, because we've got some explosive news dropping today! The action-packed manga from creator Hinasho, Shion, is officially getting a net anime adaptation! That's right, get ready to see one of the most unique premises in recent memory come to life on your screens. We're talking about a world where navigating the treacherous halls of junior high is made even more complicated by, you know, being a professional bodyguard. This is not your average school-life anime!
The story centers on a seemingly ordinary junior high schooler who is secretly a highly-trained bodyguard tasked with an incredibly important mission: protecting a fellow classmate. This setup is pure gold! We can already imagine the incredible contrast between high-stakes, thrilling action sequences and the awkward, everyday drama of middle school life. Will our hero have to fend off deadly assassins one minute and then stress about a pop quiz the next? The potential for intense fights, secret identities, and hilarious high-jinks is off the charts!
While details about the studio, cast, and release date are still under wraps, the confirmation of a net anime (ONA) is exciting in itself. This often means a more direct-to-fan release on streaming platforms, making it super accessible for everyone to jump in on the action. Fans of Hinasho's original manga have been clamoring for this, and it's fantastic to see this action-comedy gem get the attention it deserves. Needless to say, Shion has just shot to the top of our most-anticipated list, and we'll be bringing you all the updates as soon as they drop!
