The Bungaku Shoujo (Literature Girl) series is a collection of Japanese light novels by Mizuki Nomura, with illustrations by Miho Takeoka. The series started with the release of the first volume on May 10, 2006 entitled "Bungaku Shōjo" to Shinitagari no Piero, and as of...
April 28, 2008, seven volumes have been published by Enterbrain under their Famitsu Bunko label. A manga adaptation by Rito Kousaka started serialization in Square-Enix's shounen manga magazine GanGan Powered on June 21, 2008.

It is being directed by Shunsuke Tada and animation company is Production I.G.

Summary:
The protagonist of the story, Konoha Inoue, is a seemingly normal senior high 2nd year student. His high school life, other than a hinted incident 2 years ago, can be summed up as normal- if one can dismissed the secret fact that he used to be a female bestselling romance author. Due to that incident, however, he has now vowed never to write again.

This continued on until he was forced to join the literary club by the literary club president, the 3rd year female student Amano Tooko, a beautiful girl who has a taste for eating literary works. Now he has been tasked to write her snack every day after school. (MAL)

Thoughts?
Luna: I'm currently reading the novel and I'm really enjoying it. I also saw the 15 minute OVA preview back in February and I thought the animation was great. I also think Kana Hanazawa fits Touko quite well. I wish I could see this at the theater when it comes out in Japan. ; ; I also cannot wait to hear Nana Mizuki and Daisuke Ono.
