Library Wars

In the near-future of Library Wars, a dystopian Japan sees the government enacting laws to censor and destroy any materials deemed subversive, forcing librarians to form armed defense squads to protect intellectual freedom. This 15-issue French series, published by Glénat from 2010 to 2016, adapts the original Japanese light novel and manga into a Western comic format, blending action and romance with a passionate defense of the written word. The series is best known for its intense, character-driven battles and its thoughtful exploration of censorship, making it a standout for fans of speculative fiction and library advocacy.
