Iku Kasahara wants more than anything to be an ally of justice--just like her prince. In the current age, the Media Betterment Act has allowed the Japanese government to impose heavy censorship on the expression of ideas, particularly those from books. When her favorite childhood book was marked for censorship, Iku felt that oppression firsthand, but she (and the book) was saved by a man from the Kanto Library Defense Force... her prince! Inspired by his example, Iku joined the Kanto library to safeguard expression of freedom, all while searching for the man she idolizes.

There was a Japanese novel called Library War that later got turned into a movie, TV series, and so on. The story took place in a fascinating if somewhat implausible near future where certain books were banned from the public, but libraries were exempted from the ban and could actually defend their rights under the exemption by any means necessary. This occasionally led to armed confrontations over the possession of these banned books.
