## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

In a Tokyo nobody else visits a startled clerk and a woman who talks to books become accidental partisans of the 12-panel cause. Their bond grows through stolen manga panels and the rare comfort of silence unbroken. Eventually the stacks all lean toward romance, but not the kind either expected.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, outsider, tender
