Plot Summary via Wikipedia
Mamoru-kun ni Megami no Shukufuku wo! centers around Mamoru Yoshimura, a high school student who gets accepted into a prestigious school for students endowed with the power of Beatrice due to his high intellect. Right after first entering the school on his first day, he meets the mysterious Ayako Takasu, also known as the Beatrice's Angel of Death, who is a pretty and popular female student whose powers exceed most others. Moments later, Ayako, who has never been known to show a smile, suddenly confesses her strong feelings for Mamoru, despite having never met him before.

Pros and Cons
Pros:- A solid cast of characters. The support cast was really entertaining.
- The "Beatrice" concept is neat.
- The humor was enjoyable.
- Doesn't drag on the main relationship like it does in some shows. It actually goes somewhere.
Cons:
- The animation can be iffy at times. Especially during the fight scenes.
- No real conclusion.
- Romcom cliches like the hot spring episode, beach episode, etc.
Who is this for?
If you are a fan romcoms genre and don't mind some fantasy, fan service and the show taking place at a high school, I say give the show a shot and see what you think.Sources *SPOILERS*

On a little side note, I had to put this series into the Wiki. I was surprised no one had made a page for it.

What's a Super Duper Mini Review? Well, since I'm taking a break from written reviews, I decided to put a short list of what I liked and didn't like about the shows I watch. For some info about the show like genre, plot summary, etc., I borrow (mainly copy and paste :P) some info from Anime News Network, Wikipedia or the Anime Vice wiki.
