by Kiiro Yumi (story and art) and Hiro Arikawa (original concept), 203 pagesEver resourceful, even in the midst of a hostage situation, Iku and the Director secretly communicate information about their location to Dojo and the other Library Forces personnel. But dealing with government-sanctioned armed terrorists doesn't faze Iku nearly as much as the prospect of an imminent visit from her parents, who disapprove of her being involved with soldiering and believe her to be no more than a clerk at the central library. Can she count on Dojo to watch her back in her personal as well as professional crises?
The little nuances of character and the refreshingly strong (but not invincible) female lead make this series an enjoyable read. I also like the fact that Iku's several inches taller than her male counterpart (and Dojo's not overly self-conscious about it, either, which is equally refreshing). Also, love and defense of books, reading, and access to knowledge = woot! The generous helping of cheeze just makes it more fun.
