Synopsis

In the year 1989, the Japanese government passed the Media Betterment Act, allowing a group of soldiers known as the Media Betterment Committee (MBC) to destroy and censor any "problematic" media under the guise of protecting public morals. As a response, regional governments established the Library Defense Force (LDF), whose members take up arms and put their lives on the line to protect freedom of expression. At the top of the Kanto branch of the LDF stands the Library Task Force (LTF): an elite squad consisting of only the most exceptional fighters. As a high schooler, Iku Kasahara experienced the terror of censorship first-hand when she refused to surrender the newest volume of her favorite series to MBC agents. She only came out unscathed thanks to a lone member of the LDF, who protected her and her beloved book. Now in her 20s and still unable to forget the man who saved her, Kasahara joins the LDF in the hope of becoming just like her prince. But LDF training turns out to be far more rigorous than she could have imagined, and her instructor, LTF member Atsushi Doujou, seems fixated on making her life a living hell. Given her struggles, Kasahara is shocked when she is selected as one of the two new LTF recruits as a result of Doujou's recommendation. As Kasahara does all she can to become worthy of the LTF and unravel her enigmatic superior's motivations, she wages war—both on the battlefield and in her personal life.

i just love it makes so much sense to protect book that way. although people might think they’re over doing it, literally going to war for books, but it’s justified when you think of how precious and important the content is. not Komaki just finding Kasahari hilarious in a difficult situation though. he legit be laughing in front of them LOL he really had no worries. Dojo was holding himself back HAHAHAH we all knew what he wanted to do and someone definitely used his cable OHOHO

lol Genda was really there to just butcher Kasahara in front of her parents. purest intention ever though. gotta agree with her mom about Shibasaki. she’s really pretty and just captivating as hell. kinda evil sometimes but in a good way lol her being all worried about them finding out is definitely valid. cause who would have thought your daughter doing all that instead of just being a mere librarian. and the dad interrogating directly like that really didn’t help. but he’s really cool though. the fact that he found out and still decided to listen. it really shows how a dad’s roles differ than a mom’s when it comes to being there for their kids.

nauuur not the bear. she really did that lol without hesitation. after all that complaining HAHA also that Tezuka should really just calm the hell down. i get how he could feel dissatisfied with having to work with someone who’s just totally incompetent when he’s working his ass off to be perfect. unfair treatment i’d say. but chill with the direct insult brother. especially in front of your superiors. damn. balls. glad we have angle Shibasaki. and that tsundere Dojo. BUT WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED IN THE END OMGOMGOMGOMG I DID NOT EXPECT THAT AT ALL THE HELLLL

i dont know what about this anime that makes me feel like im watching exactly an ‘animated comic strip’. like do you even get what i mean? like that’s exactly what anime is i knowwww but what im trying to say right now is…it feels like super 2D. like im reading a comic but it moves LOL in a good way ofc. it’s probably the drawing style but it feels so much like im reading instead of watching. also it’s the layerings i guess. the way the characters seem to be layered on top of the background instead of blended in…if that makes sense. anywayyy, interesting concept. so random but also makes complete sense. also this shorty is not only short but also short tempered lol he’s really doting on her. but that height difference really cracks me up. been fun so far.
