After a terrorist assault that saw a helicopter strike a nuclear plant, the Japanese authorities enact legislation broadening the jurisdiction of the Media Betterment Committee (MBC). Aware that the MBC will focus on writer Kurato Touma because one of his books mirrors the attackers" tactics, reporter Maki Orikuchi requests that the Library Defense Force (LDF) serve as his bodyguards.
At the same time, senior LDF officials plan to sue the MBC, arguing that portions of its newly granted powers violate the constitution. With the Media Betterment Act itself under fire, members of the Library Task Force must juggle developing personal bonds while confronting the volatile political climate they face, all amid growing public scrutiny and internal divisions and ongoing debates.
