Magus of the Library

You know that feeling when you're browsing through a bookshop and you chance upon this great story that looks like no one knows about? That's how I felt about this. Not only is the art brilliantly illustrated, it's a deep read that's similar to Blissful Land and Otoyomegatari where the history and lore are all intricately laid out around the main character, Theo, who struggles to find his place in the world where people like him are often ostracized. He finds solace in the books he reads, and through it finds meaning in the life he lives. I truly love this series, and I hope that people will find that despite its rather slow pace for volume 1 it's a wonderful and deeply rewarding read.

This one was a lillte slow but it lays out the foundation of why he goes to the libary.
