Synopsis

Yomiko Readman's love for literature goes far beyond any run-of-the-mill bookworm's! In fact, she has a supernatural ability to manipulate paper in the most amazing ways. From turning a tiny scrap into a lethal throwing dagger to making a single sheet hard enough to block bullets, she's only limited by her imagination. She uses her phenomenal power to seek out legendary books containing secret information that, in the wrong hands, could be dangerous. Backed by a Special Operations Division in England, Yomiko has her hands full battling evildoers, saving the world, and trying to find time to curl up with a good book. (Source: Viz)

A very interesting insight on what happens before the OVA anime Read or Die.

I enjoy the anime a lot more then the manga.

But you do get to see where Yomiko met Wendy and Nenene(from ROD the TV) who wasnt in the OVA.

The plot of the manga goes for 4 volumes but really has nothing to do with the story in the anime.

So fans of the OVA will enjoy this manga. Because you get to see the characters differently.

Also would reccomend for older teens. Lesbian kiss in the first volume.
