Volume 1 Cover

Dantalian no Shoka (Dantalian's Bookshelf) (ダンタリアンの書架) is a light novel series written by Gakuto Mikumo and illustrated by G-Yuusuke. The series consists of short stories, so every chapter is stand-alone and contains a full story. The chapters can be read in any order.

Story Synopsis

The young man Hughy took over the old mansion of his deceased bibliomanic grand father as well as the book collection in there. There was one condition: he had to also inherit the "Bibliotheca".

When he inspects the mansion Hughy discovers a cellar filled with piled up books. In the midst of them he comes across a black-dressed girl who's silently reading a book. She's called Dalian and has a big lock hanging in front of her chest. She herself is the entrance to the "Bibliotheca of Dantalian" which contains the prohibited "Phantom Books".
