A cheeky heir hires a tough, three-minute bodyguard to fend off relentless bullies, blending hilarious comedy, martial arts action, and high-stakes adventure in this fast-paced, must-read manga!

José is no ordinary schoolboy – he’s the heir to a vast fortune. But being rich comes with its own set of problems: relentless bullies who are more interested in his money than his well-being. Desperate for protection, José hires Yoko-Chan, a fierce, no-nonsense bodyguard, to keep the tormentors at bay. There’s just one catch: José can only afford her for three minutes a day!

Can three minutes of super-powered protection really be enough to outsmart his bullies? With Yoko-Chan’s martial arts skills and unwavering determination, José might just survive—if he can convince her to stick around for overtime!

Packed with outrageous comedy, high-octane action, and a fearless heroine who’s as cool as she is strong, 3-Minute Bodyguard Yoko-Chan is a wild ride from start to finish. Will José’s wealth be enough to secure his safety, or will he have to rely on his wits (and Yoko-Chan’s fists) to get through the day?

A perfect mix of martial arts, mischief, and mayhem – get ready for a hilarious, action-packed adventure!
