Light Novel 'Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou' Receives Anime and Live-Action Film Adaptation
Synopsis
Hidden away in a corner of Kamakura is an unassuming secondhand bookstore, the Biblia Antiquarian Bookshop. Shinokawa Shioriko, the owner of the shop, is an overly shy young and beautiful woman who doesn't fit the image of a used bookstore and often has trouble interacting with customers.
While customer service isn't her strong point, she more than makes up for it in other ways. Using her exhaustive knowledge and unrivaled passion for literature, she unravels the secrets and mysteries of the antiquarian books that come into her shop.
This is a story of secrets and rare books. (Source: Nanodesu Translation)
Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou is written by En Mikami with illustrations by Hagu Koshijima, and has been publishing under the Media Works Bunko label since March 2011. ASCII Media Works has published six volumes of the novel with the seventh volume scheduled to be released on February 25. A manga adaptation drawn by Nakano was initially serialized in Altima Ace in February 2012, which later moved to Monthly Asuka in December 2012 until it concluded in July 2014 with six volumes. A second manga adaptation drawn by Ryou Kouda has been serialized in good! Afternoon magazine since July 2012. Kodansha published the third compiled volume of the manga in January 2014.
The series currently has over 6.4 million copies in print, and was nominated for the Japan Mystery Writers Association Award's "Long Story" category in 2012 and 2014. It has previously been adapted into a live-action TV series, which aired in 11 episodes on Fuji TV between January and March of 2013. Crunchyroll began streaming the series in November 2014.

Has anyone read the LN or watch the live action? Is it purely episodic or has an overarching story? (from the synopsis looks like episodic to me)
It kinda is, but not PURELY. Thete is something lurking behind the scenes, a greater mystery. My favorite LN up to date

If it isn't then there's a whole load of places that are wrong. Like the source for this news article. Or the Media Works Bunko website. Or the official website for Biblia.
Well, thanks for the point out. The reason is simple. I didn't check the source and the page here states nothing about anime being a movie. And I was under impression that it would be a TV but then when I went to anime page it showed as Movie. One more reason I don't want it to be a movie is, look at "Bungaku Shoujo" and we all know what went wrong.

Ok MAL, is this a TV series or Movie? Your page says it is a movie but are you sure about that?

I stopped reading the novel as it didn't seem like my sort of thing, but I'll probably try the anime. I might have just not given it enough of a chance.
