Library Wars

Entering the Shoka era (beginning in 1989), in order to improve the chaotic and degenerate social atmosphere, the Japanese government promulgated the "Media Improvement Law" and established a special department to seize and destroy all books that may affect the physical and mental health of the world. But at the same time, freedom of speech has also been brutally curbed and suppressed. In order to defend free thought, an organization called the "Library Self-Defense Organization Library Team" came into being. They took up arms to protect books, and many people sacrificed their lives for this. With the help of the library team member who was once regarded as a "prince" in high school, the hot-blooded girl Kasahara Iku (played by Eikura Nana) decides to join the library team. However, the second-class librarian Atsushi Kamido (played by Okada Junichi) who is responsible for training her always seems to make things difficult for Kasahara, and the girl still relies on her own efforts to become a member of the special library team. In the days that followed, Kasahara's friendship and trust with his instructor and fellow student Hikaru Tezuka (played by Fukushi Sota) deepened day by day. It didn't take long before a major event affecting freedom of speech came, and the fateful war between the library team and the media improvement team began... This film is adapted from the first part of Hiroshi Arikawa's "Library Series".
