What is Omamori Himari about?

The new special one-shot comes with a short story about the main articles and also several coloured illustrations by Milan Matra.

The original Omamori Himari manga began publishing in 2006 in the Monthly Dragon Age magazine, and ended in 2013. It also received a 12-episode anime adaptation in 2010 by Zexcs. Yen Press publishes all volumes of the original manga and describes the story as:

Severely allergic to felines, Yuuto Amakawa spends his mornings nursing a drippy nose courtesy of his friend Rinko's cat. But on his sixteenth birthday, it's not just Rinko's pet that's riling up his allergies (to say nothing of his hormones)! Appearing before him is Himari, a buxom, sword-wielding cat spirit in human guise, who has sworn to protect Yuuto, now the target of vengeful spirits! It's clear that Yuuto's allergies are the least of his problems - he's gonna need Himari's help if he wants to live to see his seventeenth birthday!
