Library War (図書館戦争, Toshokan Sensō in Japanese) is an award-wining Light-Novel series that was later adapted as an anime and an ongoing manga series. A live action film series was released on April 27, 2013, starring Nana Eikura and Junichi Okada. The manga and anime adaptations were licensed by Viz Media and Discotek for the English-speaking audience.Set in 2019, during an alternate timeline where the Japanese government has issued the Media Improvement Act, to prevent the spread of supposedly dangerous information by allowing censorship. In response, local governments have set up the Library Defense Force to fight against the censorship of the Media Improvement Committee, who frequently raid libraries.The story itself centers around Iku Kasahara, a recruit in the Force, who joined after being inspired by a mysterious Defense Force member who protected her and a book she was trying to buy that was being targeted for censorship. However, she quickly learns how demanding the Defense Force can be, mainly from her "demon" instructor, Atsushi Doujo. Despite making several huge mistakes at first, Iku is promoted to her base's Library Task Force, which is essentially the most elite branch of the Defense Force and Iku is the first woman to enter.As the series goes on, she begins to improve in her duties, and she even finds out more about the mysterious "princely" figure that inspired her all those years ago... | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Library War / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Seriously, this must be the cleanest civil war ever. Few people are actually killed by the series' A-Team Firing; most are only injured or knocked unconscious. It's justified for several reasons. Both sides wear SWAT/riot police/military-grade body armornote the MBC appear to be wearing SWAT gear, while the LDF are wearing what appears to be JGSDF-issue, but both sides have very few high-caliber firearms that can effectively punch through it - most engagements are conducted with 9mm submachinegunsnote MP5s for the MBC and Mineaba M9s for the LDF. This means that being shot will undoubtedly be painful, but rarely outright lethal. The system implemented for what is and is not kosher in these firefights seems to have been designed to minimize actual human casualties. Also, as with modern warfare, most rounds are being fired to suppress the opposition, instead of being intended to kill. Subverted with the Hino Massacre. | |

In the former one she feels embarrased by everyone's compliments and in the latter she isn't able to figure out why all the guys are suddenly staring at her. | |

Book Dumb | |
| Library War / int_53136954 | comment |
Book Dumb: Iku states that she didn't do well in lectures. Cue scene of her passed out in class with her textbook over her face. The novel explains this a bit more — because the university Iku went to didn't offer the classes she needed to qualify for a library job, she had to take night school courses on the side. She's still not a great student. The manga has Iku say she planned to be in the Defense Force since they only handle combat duties. It comes back to bite her when she's accepted to the Task Force, which handles both combat and library duties. | |

Buttmonkey: Bonus strips in the manga chronicle the adventures of Maburo Agohige, Kasahara's manga-only secret admirer. Every time he tries to approach Kasahara, he stumbles upon an intense Doujo/Kasahara moment or otherwise gets shut down. | |

Civil War: Essentially, this is what the Library War is all about. It's a very nice one, however, given that the JSDF would likely clamp down hard on any belligerents who would start involving civilians, heavy weapons and other things that leads to collateral damage or a breakdown in law and order. | |

Not So Different: Iku is a Hot-Blooded Wide-Eyed Idealist protector of books, which causes her to repeatedly butt heads with Doujo's by the book approach. Turns out both of them are pretty similar. Doujo turns out to be The Champion who inspired Kasahara. The anime tries to show that this is also true for the troops of the Media Betterment Committee and our heroes. Komaki meets and somewhat befriends a member of the Betterment Committee. | |

Loophole Abuse | |

Loophole Abuse: A loophole in the Media Betterment Act is what allowed the Libraries to exist in the first place. Another loophole led to the first library raid. A few laws and loopholes later and we've got an institutionalized civil war, with lots of rules for what is and is not kosher, and lots of people abusing the loopholes found in those rules. | |

Cool Guns | |
| Library War / int_bb040b01 | comment |
Cool Guns: A full list is available on IMFDB — it's a battle of new versus old. The MBC arsenal is ripped straight from the "cool" list, consisting of shiny new MP5 submachine gunsnote Well, newer compared to the Type-64. It's still an older weapon. and L96 sniper rifles. The LDF loses fancy factors on the account of acquiring JSDF surpluses, considering how relatively unremarkable the Type-64 and Type-89 rifles and the M24 Remington sniper rifle look in comparison to MBC counterparts, but the Minebea M-9 submachine guns in LDF possession are clones of the iconic Mini Uzi. | |
