With a premise of a bibliophile who can control paper and works for the Library of England recovering rare books, I had high hopes for this series.
Unfortunately, this book has little to do with the library at all (the series doesn't really). I did like the A and B student comparison, but that also introduced the rest of the Library of England folks--just kinda *plop* there and it's another screaming female. The previous Paper was brought in as well (really, I notice books just drop paper whenever she's around--I'd think this isn't good for the books), though horribly confusingly--probably intentionally.
The A and B students were a nice setup. The lead character (a whiny scatterbrain) falling apart got old.
I was not that impressed. I read V1&V2 then quit (V2 wasn't an improvement--I tend to give manga series 2 volumes). I later ended up with V3&V4 as part of a bulk manga purchase so I gave them a shot--they were better, but still not that good and not worth slogging through the rest.
