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 out for her!
As someone who loves books and reading, the series really struck a chord with me, and for people who love their local libraries, this series will also make them appreciate them even more. As a romance reader, this series had plenty of that with a lot of great romantic tension.
You can borrow Library Wars from you local library :) or buy it from Amazon, iBooks, Kobo, or Barnes and Noble.
Hmmm....sounds very different and interesting.
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised when I read it! Much more romantic than I thought it would be.
DeleteI just borrowed this series from the library and then saw your post! I first came across Library Wars when my classmate in library school was talking about it. Looking forward to starting it even more now. :-)
ReplyDeleteBTW Camy, have you watched/read Your Lie in April? I finished watching it last month and though a bit angsty, it had a lot more comedic bits than I thought it would. I've only read the first three manga, but it looks like the anime stuck pretty faithful to the source. :-)
YES I saw that anime! I was bawling buckets at the ending, though!!! It was a really well done anime.
DeleteYou, especially, will LOVE Library Wars!
^_^ I wish the YLIA DVDs weren't so expensive ... I'd love to own them someday.
DeleteLibrary Wars is so good! I need to reserve the last volume now. =)
