Book Girl (Bungaku Shoujo) is a series of Light Novels written by Mizuki Nomura and illustrated by Miho Takeoka. The novels were published from 2006 to 2011; there are about 16 novels in the series with eight being part of the main story, four being short story collections, and four being side stories.This story is started with an Ordinary High-School Student named Konoha Inoue. His life is quite normal, but only if one disregards the fact that he is a bestselling female romance writer. During his first year of high school he meets Tohko Amano reading a book. Tohko then announces that Konoha is joining the Book Club. A year later, Tohko and Konoha are still the only people in the Book Club and Tohko is studying for college. One day, his friend Nanase Kotobuki falls down some stairs and is hospitalized. Konoha goes to the hospital to see her, and finds his Childhood Friend Miu Asakura who also wanted to be a writer. At that moment starts a story of drama, romance, and mystery as Konoha and Tohko confront Miu and his pasts to fix what was once set wrong.There are 5 animated adaptations: 4 of them being OVAs and the one movie — just note that they all adapt the last half of the series, so if you're going to read the books, read them first. In addition, several of the novels have been adapted to manga.The novels also have a sequel, Bungaku Shoujo: Minarai, set after Touko's graduation. They introduce a new character, Nano Hinosaka, a freshman that joins the Literature Club after falling in Love at First Sight with Konoha. | |

Patrick Stewart Speech: At some point in each novel, you can be sure Tohko will launch into a lecture about a book that's relevant to the current situation, and in doing so will change how someone looks at the world. Because she's the Book Girl, dontcha know. | |

Spurned into Suicide | |
| Book Girl / int_188802c0 | comment |
Spurned into Suicide: Miu. Well, the first time. She was so sad and angry with Konoha for not telling her about him writing the book (thus feeling that he was distancing himself away from her and being as Yandere as she is), that she decided to kill herself right in front of him, so that he'd regret and suffer his entire life. Now, how's that for someone who loves you ?! | |

Also a Chekhov's Gun, since this love fortune was first mentioned at the start of Book Girl and the Suicidal Mime, and was treated as a joke. | |

| Book Girl / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out The manga adaption of "Book Girl and the Suicidal Mime" (did anyone say light novel?) is filled with references and shout-outs to famous Japanese and non-Japanese books. For a while, the story even turns into a modern day reenactment of Osamu Dazai's novel No Longer Human. The second book is a Whole-Plot Reference to Wuthering Heights. Heck, all the books reference other books. | |
