Houkago wa Kissaten de

mal
Romance

Unlike her friends, Riku Yanagi has minimal interest in cute cafes, talking about romance, or keeping up with the latest gossip. On the contrary, she appreciates "unpopular" things, like rustic cafes that play smooth jazz. Furthermore, out of all the boys in her class, Riku only has eyes for Eito Fushimi—someone her friends find undesirable due to his antisocial and often strange behavior. One day, Riku is taken aback to find Eito behind the counter of a rustic cafe she has wanted to visit. But the Eito she finds at his job acts differently than the Eito she sees at school—smiling, willing to listen to his customers' idle banter, and dedicated to running his family's cafe in his father's absence. Meeting each other in a completely new setting, Riku and Eito form a bond fueled by their shared passion for things that are considered unpopular. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

ActionAdult CastMilitary

At the end of the Showa era, the Media Betterment Act was enacted, beginning a country-wide hunt for all media that were deemed offensive. Witnessing the senseless censorship, libraries stood up against this law; the Library Defense Force (LDF) became the only entity capable of fighting off the Media Betterment Committee (MBC). Tomboyish and avid reader Iku Kasahara is the newest member accepted into the Kanto branch of the LDF. Her love of reading has inspired her to join the force in more ways than one: she almost landed in trouble with the MBC five years prior when an unknown LDF agent came to her aid. Iku has since vowed to protect books just like that agent did, and—at just 22 years old—she has now become a promising talent among the new recruits. Although Iku has achieved her dream of joining the LDF, she clashes with her superior Atsushi Doujou, a straight-laced instructor who seems to be particularly hard on her. For that reason, Iku is surprised to find out Doujou, among others, recommends her to be part of the Library Task Forces (LTF). Now part of an exclusive team, Iku must show her value as a member of LTF while executing her duties diligently. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
