Dantalian no Shoka

Synopsis: Six months ago, Lord Hugh Anthony Disward, also known as Huey, lost his eccentric grandfather Sir Wesley Disward, who was a renowned rare book collector. His grandfather's desire states that in order to inherit his mansion and all inside him, he must take the protection of Dantalian's Bibliotheca mystica - a file that contains forbidden knowledge - and also takes care of a mysterious girl named Dalian.

While Huey settles in the mansion, an old rival of her grandfather organizes a meeting with him. Dalian, knowing the rival of being Wesley's killer, approaches and finds that the killer is in possession of a ghost book - a cursed tome Wesley tried to seal. When the book is in danger, Huey discovers that Dantalian and Dalian's Bibliotheca Mystica are one and the same, and she trusts Huey the key to unlocking the knowledge stored within it. Together, Dalian and Huey separate from the book and thus begin an unlikely partnership as they solve mysteries caused by other Phantom books.
