“I wish I’d never read books…!” Mifuyu Mikura is a high school student living in the book-loving town of Yominaga. She’s the daughter of a family whose long history has looked after the massive library, the “Mifuyu Library,” founded by her great-grandfather. However, she herself has never been a fan of books. One day, a book from the library is stolen, and Yominaga is suddenly engulfed in a world of stories. It’s a curse placed on books—the “Book Curse.” The key to breaking the curse lies within the stories. To save the town, Mifuyu embarks on a journey with the mysterious girl Mashiro to capture the book thief. Who is the thief? And what is the secret of the “curse” and the “Mifuyu Family” that even Mifuyu doesn’t know…? A mystery-solving adventure fantasy begins as the two girls journey through the “world of books”!
