Angel Densetsu (Japanese : エンジェル伝説 , Hepburn : Enjeru Densetsu lit. "Legend of Angel") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Norihiro Yagi . It was serialized in Shueisha 's shōnen Monthly Shōnen Jump tankōbon original video animation (OVA) adaptation, animated by Toei Animation , was released in 1996.
Plot
[ edit ]
The series follows Seiichirō Kitano, a kind and naive boy with the heart of an angel, but the sinister looks of a devil. This paired with his horrible luck and awkward social skills causes many misunderstandings, leading people to assume that he is a delinquent and heroin addict, and (unbeknownst to himself) results in a career as the head thug, or "school guardian" at his new school.
