Adapted from Light Novel series by Nomura Mizuki. Meet Kanoha Inoue, winner of a prostegious writing award at the age of 14. Mistakenly branded a "Mysterious Bishoujo Author" and subsequently vowed to never write publicly again. Meet Amano Tooko, self-proclaimed "Bungaku Shoujo". Eats up works of literature, literally. The two of them are the only members of the Literature Club. Each day he writes short stories for her to eat. Until one day Tooko arbitrarily decided to put up a drop box for anyone with a problem... From Baka-Updates: The "mysterious school comedy" centers on the unusual members of a high school literary club. Toko Amano, a high school senior who calls herself the "literary girl" as the club president, is actually a supernatural creature (yokai) that devours stories — she tears pages from books to munch on them. Her club subordinate is Konoha Inoue, a second-year high school boy who writes stories every day for Amano to eat. He once wrote an award-winning novel, but he wrote it under the penname Miu Inoue so readers thought the author was a mysterious 14-year-old bishoujo novelist. The stress from the novel's fame and its movie and television drama plans turned Inoue into an introverted recluse.

Hina's new high school is strange to say the least. She moves back to her old home town only to find that the high school is run by two opposing factors, and students identify themselves based on the color of their school uniforms: Black for the followers of the loud, violent Nishizaki, and white for the followers of quiet, clean-freak Isshiki. And then there are the "grays," who wear street clothes. Hina finds herself stuck between the leaders of the two factions, and it seems to be turning violent. As one might guess from the girly art and the Ribon publisher, the plot develops a romance element pretty early on in the series. There's a love square involved among the leaders of the groups. Who will Hina choose?
