Angel Densetsu (エンジェル伝説, Enjeru Densetsu^?, Angel of Legend) is a shōnen manga created by Norihiro Yagi. Serialized in Monthly Shōnen Jump from 1992 to 2000, in total of 15 volumes. In 1996 a 45-minute OVA (Original video animation) was released and available on VHS.

Angel Densetsu is a story about 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 or heroin addict, and results in a career as the head thug, or "school guardian" at his new school.

The school is smack right in the center of town and whose student body is made up of about 90% delinquents.

They are known as special guidance counselors, but in truth they are the underside of the Education Committee, pummeling thugs who are beyond saving. Therefore, they are also called the Shadowy Seven.

On Anime News Network, Justin Sevakis calls the OVA "easily one of my top 10 anime comedies of all time."
