“The Girl and Her Guard Dog” seems to give off a creepy impression at first. Imagine a high-school student who simply wants to live her life but cannot because her almost 30-year-old bodyguard won’t let her. Age is not just a number. And he has been a parent figure in her life.
However, since this is anime and the 30-year-old bodyguard looks like a teenager, you can ignore the age factor and watch it.
