Summary
Bungaku Shoujo, also known as 'Book Girl,' follows the story of Tohko Amano, a high-school student whose insatiable appetite is not for food but for literature. As the head of the literary club, she feasts on hand-written stories with the help of Konoha Inoue, who writes to satisfy Tohko's literary cravings. When a student seeks advice on writing love letters, Tohko's world of gourmet tastes takes an unexpected turn. The novel, recognized with Kadokawa Shoten's 2007 light novel award, weaves drama, mystery, romance, and psychological elements into a captivating narrative without an anime or manga adaptation yet.

Description

For Tohko Amano, a third-year high-school student and self-styled “book girl,” being the head of the literary club is more than just an extracurricular activity. It’s her bread and butter…literally! Tohko is actually a literature-gobbling demon, who can be found at all hours of the day munching on torn out pages from all kinds of books. But for Tohko, the real delicacies are hand-written stories. To satisfy her gourmet tastes, she’s employed (rather, browbeaten) one Konoha Inoue, who scribbles away each day after school to satisfy Tohko’s appetite. But when another student comes knocking on the literary club door for advice on writing love letters, will Tohko discover a new kind of delicacy?

Bungaku Shoujo won Kadokawa Shoten’s 2007 light novel award for light novels under the mystery category.

Placed 7th (2007) and 3rd (2008) on “このライトノベルがすごい!” (This Light Novel is Amazing!) without an anime nor manga associate.
