There was no Natsume Soseki, no Kawabata Yasunari, no Murakami Haruki... Japanese literature of this era was dominated by a group of inferior writers that Xu Xiu had never heard of.

At this point, people realized that a writer worthy of the title of literary giant had finally appeared in the bubble era.

As a response, regional governments established the Library Defense Force (LDF), whose members take up arms and put their lives on the line to protect freedom of expression.
