    Synopsis:

    Bantorra Library exists as a repository for the departed, their lives preserved within the pages of bound books. Here, individuals known as Armed Librarians safeguard this collection, drawing power from the narratives contained within to defend against those who would exploit the past. The Librarians face a persistent threat from Sindeki Kyoudan, a zealous organization seeking to manipulate history for their own ends. The series explores themes of memory, legacy, and the responsibility that comes with possessing knowledge of others' lives. Set within a world where the boundaries between life and storytelling blur, the narrative focuses on the complex relationships between the Librarians and the weight of the stories they protect – a quiet struggle against forces seeking to rewrite the past.
