When a sickly young girl suddenly becomes obsessed with inventing new things, her family and friends are all puzzled. "What has gotten into Myne?" they wondered, never dreaming that the answer is not a "What" but a "Who": Urano Motosu, a book-loving apprentice librarian who died in an earthquake in Tokyo who somehow found herself in Myne's body! And since Myne's world is still in a medieval stage, where books can only be owned by the elite, the new Myne intends to do everything she can to bring her beloved books to the masses in the time she has left.
A voice performance breathes frantic, intellectual hunger into a tiny girl determined to reinvent the printing press using nothing but medieval scraps. This reincarnation fantasy avoids tired tropes by focusing on the grueling, tactile reality of manufacturing paper in a world that has forgotten how to read.
