Synopsis
Hatsuki chases her vanished sister/love into a magical library of worlds, searching book-to-book.
Hatsuki is a highschool student living with her sister, Hatsumi, who she has a huge crush on. On Hatsumi's 16th birthday, she is suddenly surrounded by a green light and disappears in front of Hatsuki. She manages to follow Hatsumi with the help of a being resembling a fat baby chick (literally), ending up in a place called "The Great Library", which is full of different worlds stored in books. Hatsumi wasn't there, though, so the search for Hatsuki's great love begins and involves traveling from book to book. (Source: AniDB)

- 7/10 “It's different. The storytelling in this anime is introvertic and unpredictable. It's one of those animes that go "Ok, we'll not be doing the conventional tropes. So... what will it be about...”
- 7/10 “TL:DR If you like some funny action/serious drama along with cute characters and just a dash of lesbian tension to liven things up, you'll most likely enjoy this series. Going into watching this...”
- 9/10 “Truly absurd. Say you're a girl (Hatsuki) who has a crush on your sister (Hatsumi) and one day choose to sneak into her room and just have your way with her as she sleeps. The next thing you know...”
