The Mystic Archives of Dantalian (Original Japanese Version)

Hugh Anthony Disward visits the estate of his inheritance after news of his grandfather’s untimely death. A notorious bibliophile, the old man left behind a library that’s out of this world. But who is that mysterious young girl?

Huey and Dalian are hired to appraise the Lilburn family’s library and soon discover that a string of murders surround the beautiful maiden of the estate, Estella. Could it be the curse of a Phantom Book?

A childhood friend tells Huey of a schoolteacher whose students have become knowledgeable beyond measure. Later, two suspicious men come to the Disward manor in search of a valuable book.

After finishing the second book in a trilogy, Dalian is desperate to read the last. Not only did the author die before writing it, he also wrote a letter to Disward pleading for help. They soon learn that Dalian is not the only die-hard fan of the series.

An old friend asks Huey for a Phantom Book, hoping to win the heart of a beguiling courtesan. But on the next full moon, they find that he’s far from being the only man after the beauty’s hand, or her life.

A man who calls himself a Libricide Officer arrives in a town shrouded in mystery. Along for the ride is his peculiar companion—a woman with a lock just like Dalian’s!

A trip to the bakery is interrupted by a woman on the run. Before long, Huey and Dalian find themselves in the midst of a famous perfume company’s ordeals. But something smells fishy—just how is a criminal organization involved?

Huey and Dalian go on a wild goose chase when they realize Camilla has obtained a Phantom Book that can exchange items of equal value. Then, Armand pleads for help with more relationship problems that are growing worse by the minute.

A swarm of insects ravages a town, and one girl is on a mission to protect it and her beloved. But Dalian warns that the poison she’s making won’t be enough. What are these bugs anyway?

Huey and Dalian meet a talented violinist in the park who is rumored to have played a Phantom Score. The piece is said to be impossible to play, and that it will cause extreme emotions in anyone who hears it.

When Huey was a new recruit during the war, he quickly befriended his captain, Eilas. A lover of poetry, the pilot’s writing took on a sort of power when read aloud. But a Bibliotheca from the past appears before Eilas once more with a curious question.

The city is plagued by increasing numbers of zombies, and a newspaper leads Huey and Dalian to the culprits. But this time, it may be more than they can handle, and Huey still has to make good on a childhood promise before it’s too late.
