Synopsis

A frail young girl suddenly becomes obsessed with designing gadgets and contraptions, puzzling everyone around her — but the explanation isn't a change in her body so much as a new mind inside it. Urano Motosu, a bookish apprentice librarian who died in a Tokyo earthquake, has awakened in the girl's form in a preindustrial realm where books are luxuries reserved for the wealthy. With modern knowledge and a fierce love of reading, she vows to use her limited time to spread literature and learning to the common people, overturning a world that treats books as privilege rather than shared treasure.
