In this world the dead turn into stone books that give up their memories to anyone who reads them, and the Bantorra Library exists to guard and interpret them. Hamyuts Meseta, the battle-hungry acting director, leads the Armed Librarians against the Shindeki Church, a cult that brainwashes captives and implants them with explosives. One of those human bombs, Colio Tonies, is sent to kill Hamyuts and ends up caught instead in the story of a woman held inside one of the library's books. This manga adapts the Tatakau Shisho light novels.
