Library War: The Wings Of Revolution

Following the terrorist attack at the Tsuruga Nuclear Power Plant, Japan passes a sweeping anti-terrorism bill that broadens the reach of the MBC and other agencies. The new framework centralizes media and security powers, elevating oversight and suppression of dissent. This legislative shift sets the stage for Touma to become a targeted figure.

They are recalled to the Kanto Library Base to guard Kuroudo Touma, the author named as a target by the MBC. They begin equipping Touma for a possible disguise, including eyewear to alter his appearance. The mission marks Touma's move into a guarded, makeshift exile under library protection.

The Library Defense Force files a lawsuit with Touma as plaintiff against the MBC at the Tokyo District Court. The court rules in Touma’s favor, prompting an appeal to a higher court. The case becomes a high-stakes public dispute over censorship and government power.

Members of the Future Library Committee attempt to abduct Touma, but Mikihisa Komaki and Hikaru Tezuka intervene to stop them. Asako Shibasaki tells Hikaru she will handle his brother Satoshi, signaling political maneuvering behind the scenes. The incident underscores the danger Touma faces from anti-censorship opponents.

Touma is moved from the Kanto Library Base to Kazuichi Inamine's estate for safety. Kasahara and Dojo remain by Touma's side as the legal battle intensifies. The relocation marks a shift in Touma's vulnerability and the LDF's protective strategy.

Asako Shibasaki proposes to Satoshi to become the voice of anti-censorship in the National Diet, in exchange for overlooking his abducting plot. The proposal reveals the murky intersection of politics and personal loyalties in the case. The plan foreshadows the layered pressures surrounding Touma's fate.

During a few days before the verdict, MBC agents infiltrate Inamine’s estate; Kasahara and Dojo manage to move Touma back to the Kanto Library Base for safety. The infiltration tests the LDF's resolve and showcases the reach of the anti-censorship campaign. Touma's fate remains precarious as the court process continues.

On the day of the verdict, the high court rules in favor of the appeal, sending Touma’s case to the Supreme Court. The decision signals a continuing battle over censorship and Touma's ability to write. The LDF braces for further escalation as the legal fight enters its final stage.

In a strategy meeting, Kasahara suggests Touma seek asylum as a last resort if they fail to win in court. The LDF approves the plan, recognizing the risk Touma faces if the state steps beyond legal channels. The option introduces an international dimension to their fight.

At the Supreme Court verdict, the ruling forbids Touma from writing for five years. Kasahara, Dojo, and the LDF race to move Touma to a safe asylum destination, but MBC forces block their path. Dojo is shot in the leg and taken to Kinokuniya, where he begins recovery as Touma and Kasahara press on toward the consulates.

The pursuit reaches the vicinity of the British Consulate-General, where MBC reinforcements attempt to halt them. A British diplomat intervenes to secure asylum for Touma at the American Embassy after a call from the LDF. The international intervention draws condemnation of the Media Betterment Act.

During the escape, Touma reveals his plan to craft a fairy tale about a troubadour saved by two bluebirds from oppression, a story meant to inspire music even if not approved by any king. The idea serves as Touma's symbolic resistance against censorship, routing hope through art.

A week later, Kasahara visits Dojo in hospital, and they reaffirm their love. The closeness of their relationship endures amid political upheaval.

With the act revised to prohibit the use of weapons, Kasahara, now married to Dojo, oversees new LDF recruits as their instructor. The organization begins a new chapter of training and public defense of freedom.
