In a town where people live surrounded by books, there is a library overflowing with endless tomes-the Mikurakan. Its founder was Mifuyu's great-grandfather, and her father is its manager...but Mifuyu herself hates books. One day, a collection of books is stolen, and a mysterious message is left behind. "Whoever steals this book shall be pursued by the flag of magical realism." Thus, the town begins to shift into something out of a tale...and Mifuyu realizes she must venture into the worlds of stories to save her home!
Whoever Steals This Book starts off on a magical ride that has a lot of promise if it can keep its rules easy to understand and build on the mystery it has set up.

Worth a go if the synopsis entices you. Read Full Review
