Iku Kasahara wants more than anything to be an ally of justice--just like her prince. In the current age, the Media Betterment Act has allowed the Japanese government to impose heavy censorship on the expression of ideas, particularly those from books. When her favorite childhood book was marked for censorship, Iku felt that oppression firsthand, but she (and the book) was saved by a man from the Kanto Library Defense Force... her prince! Inspired by his example, Iku joined the Kanto library to safeguard expression of freedom, all while searching for the man she idolizes. (Crunchyroll)

The first time I saw the live-action film first and then the anime, and I have to admit that although we don't learn as much about the characters in the film, I liked it better as a whole. For me, it's a regular romantic comedy, but it doesn't take place in the middle ground between senpai and kohai (or classmates or childhood friends), but in a work environment where you sweat while doing pull-ups, running, and shooting at enemies. I took the whole "burning and indexing books" thing as background, just something to nudge the heroes in the right direction occasionally = one that suits the author. A nice break, nothing complicated. You can go into it with an empty mind and leave with one, too. There's no point in thinking about it in any depth. ()
