Library Wars, Love and War by Kiiro Yumi/184 pages

This manga is based on an original novel, but has been reorganized into a traditional Japanese manga novel. If you have never tried reading a manga novel, this one is a great place to start! Library Wars is set in the near future when the Media Betterment Society seeks to exercise censorship over all media , including offensive books.  Libraries are the only institutions that can oppose the society's censorship.  Corporal Iku Kasahara is the first female ever selected to the elite "Library Forces", a group of individuals trained to fight the censorship. Iku finally has her dream job, but has a hard time with her hard-hearted drill instructor. A little action and adventure and a little romance. I think this will be a fun series.

"The library is the one place that has to treat books fairly!" Iku Kasahara.
