"Tosyokan Kakumei" by ARIKAWA Hiro

This is the fourth and the last book of 'Tosyokan Sensou' series. The main theme of this series is, I think, the freedom of expression, which is guaranteed in the Constitution of Japan. A side story is love story of many couples ^^;;; So the style is something like comedies.

The main couple is DOUJYOU Atsushi and KASAHARA Iku, a teacher and the student of the library army which is created against the media cleaning committee which had a power to do inspection. So many battles are described in this series.

A terrorist group attacked a nuclear power plant which locates in Fukui prefecture, Japan. It was soon suppressed, but a rumor was spread - saying that the terrorists learned many knowledge about the attack of nuclear plants. So the media cleaning committee tried to catch the author Touma, but the library army sheltered him from the committee...
