Books – Magic of Written Words
Theo, a poor boy that lives in the small village of Amun. Theo adores books, but because of his pointed ears and impoverished life, he isn’t allowed to use the village library.
Most slum dwellers are illiterate. Books are a status symbol. Precious tomes of knowledges.
The local library is a subsidiary of the Great Library.
I take it as the Great Library opposes prejudice, as a national disease, while the town library practices prejudice as an important local custom.
Is there no prejudice that cannot be overcome through extraordinary acts of heroism?
One day, Theo chances to meet a Kafna–a librarian who works for the great library of Aftzaak, City of Books — and his life changes forever…
The cover states that the it is based on ‘Kafna of the Wind‘ by Sophie Schwimm.” This does not mean the manga was adopted from a pre-existing book. It signifies that at some point in the future, Theo’s story will be deemed important enough in-universe to be written down.
