In the 1930s, Tsugumi Kuze is the heiress of a wealthy family that has fallen on hard times. She agrees to an arranged marriage in order to turn the family's fortunes around. But when her brother meets a horrifying fate, she learns of the 'Imperial Library Intelligence Asset Management Bureau', a secret unit which deals with cursed books that can possess their owners. What's more, the Bureau members discover that Kuze has a unique talent that would be of great use to them, and attempt to recruit her.

(One episode watched):

Well, I must admit that while I was very skeptical of this show at first, it laid out a fairly intriguing premise in its first episode. It seems to be targeted at young girls, who would find this tale of a girl who is catapulted to importance due to a talent she possesses (and is surrounded by several sexy hunks in her new job) as almost a dream too good to be true. The problem for me was this concept of 'cursed tomes', which are basically handwritten manuscripts which can somehow possess readers and make them harm themselves. Am I supposed to get angry at books? Will a genuine villain come along at some point? Or is this all just an excuse to place Kuze in a romantic situation? I find it hard to imagine how this story would remain interesting for twelve episodes or so, and there are more than enough good anime this season, so I think I will pass on this one.
