| ~ Morito getting Futaba to take him as a bodyguard |
Summary
Morito Hayama is the main protagonist of the Gun x Clover manga. Seemingly just a short wimpy-looking mercenary with no rank at Mikado High School, Morito is chosen as the bodyguard for Kotonoha Nanase, a girl with a special power that has transferred to the school in search of protection. However, Kotonoha quickly finds out that the reason Morito has no rank is because he's one of the 13 people who assign and remove ranks to mercenaries, a Master-rank, and he's merely undercover as a student at the school. Though young-looking, Morito has been through countless fights and wars and has trained several powerful mercenaries.
