This manga had a very interesting concept, but the execution was not so. The concept of a library that focuses solely on spellbooks was interesting! It's a library where their entire collection is only focused on magical books, how cool! But the actual story isn't so much focused on the library, it's focused on a more shonen-style story. It focuses on the main leader character, Yan, and his journey to become a spellbook librarian. Which happens in like...2 chapters? It's insanely short, then they're just...working at the library now! The sidekick character, Tohru is so blatantly in what his "plot twist" is going to be. It's hinted at so hard, that it's just obvious. I did enjoy the art, I thought the action scenes were very well done. The story just has a major plot pacing issue that made it so it didn't fully hold my attention. Hence why it took me so long to finish this volume because I kept putting it down every time I lost interest.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
