Mizuki Nomura

For self-styled "book girl," third-year high school student Tohko Amano, being the head of the literary club is more than just an extracurricular activity with minor perks. It's her bread and butter . . . literally! Tohko is actually a literature-gobbling demon, and instead of the less palatable option of water-soaked bread, she opts to munch on torn out pages from all kinds of stories. But for Tohko, the real delicacies are handwritten stories. And to satisfy her gourmet tastes, she's employed (aka. browbeaten) one Konoha Inoue, an underclassman who has retreated from writing novels after his experiences with getting published at an early age. So day in and day out, Konoha scribbles away to satisfy Tohko's appetite. But when, one day, another student comes knocking on the literary club door to seek advice on writing love letters, will Tohko discover a new kind of delicacy to whet her voracious appetite?

A BOOK’S LOVE FOR ITS READER IS BOUNDLESS... ​ Musubu Enoki is an ordinary high schooler with an extraordinary ability—he can hear the voices of books. When he happens to notice one lost and crying, the young man sets out to reunite a children’s classic with its original owner. Musubu leaves no page unturned in his quest to assist tomes of all sorts, including “The Surgery Room” by classic Japanese author Kyōka Izumi.

But can these nostalgic, interconnected encounters lead him to the truth behind Emon’s demise? 

Tohko Amano is a perfectly ordinary Book Girl-she loves stories so much that she devours them. But some stories are too intense even for the specialists. Mysterious coded messages start to appear hinting that a ghost is stalking the school, and what can Tohko do but try to defend the book club from it? She's the president, even if she is a little . . . terrified. But when the ghost turns out to be a real girl with two souls, hovering on the edge of life and death, light and darkness, love and hatred, the Book Girl's skills-and those of Konoha, the trusty, level-headed Watson to her Sherlock Holmes-might be the only way to solve the mystery.

"Hey! There are pages missing in this book!" One day Tohko borrows a book from the library, but there are pages missing--sliced right out of it.

Caught up in Tohko's rampage, Konoha and his classmate Akutagawa are even forced (though they have no idea why) to perform a play for the school's culture fair. But Tohko and Konoha glimpse the darkness in his classmate's heart and of the madness that has driven him into a corner. A soul stands immobilized, bound up by the mistakes of the past. Will the Book Girl be able to set it free?
