"In the near future, the federal government creates a committee to rid society of books it deems unsuitable. The libraries vow to protect their collections, and with the help of local governments, form a military group to defend themselves---the Library Forces! Iku Kasahara has dreamed of joining the Library Defense Force ever since one of its soldiers stepped in to protect her favorite book from being confiscated in a bookstore when she was younger. But now that she's finally a recruit, she's finding her dream job to be a bit of a nightmare. Especially since her hard-hearted drill instructor seems to have it in for her!"--P.

This manga has an interesting premise- an agency dedicated to protecting books against government censorship. But this was about one recruit with poor self-esteem who is trying to get through her initial training. Her instructors are unsupportive and her room-mate is downright nasty to her.
I won't be following this series.

Got through the first three volumes. The premise is fabulous, but the story is rather fluffy and didn't really grab me. Guess I'll have to wait for the movie to come out in the US.... ( )

This is an amusing manga, though a lot of it feels like set-up since this is volume one of a series. I think the characters will be quite amusing to watch as the series goes on, and the concept (where librarians have to literally fight the government over censorship) is enjoyable to read as well.

My first manga, ever. I sort of enjoyed it but I probalby won't read any further in the series, I think you either GET manga or you don't. I think I fall into the latter category. ( )

I loved it. LOVED it. Absolutely adored everything about it - the art, the humor, the drama, Iku, her relationship with Dojo (how do I love relationships between superiors and their subordinates that looks to develop into romance? ONLY A WHOLE LOT), and the entire world of the Library Forces. I cannot wait to read the next volume in this series! ( )
