Be Quiet in the Library

Second Volume: The Library

I'm the librarian, Hasegawa Sumika.

I work in the library every day for the books I love.

But my real motive is...

Endou-san!

But Endou-san is always talking to Machida-san.

Is he her stalker or something?

And would that make me a stalker's stalker?!

It's poetic justice!

Stare...

Stare

Oh!

Oh!

Is that...

A Study in Scarlet

So, um... You're reading Holmes?

You know a lot about Holmes?

Yes, I guess so...

A ton, actually!

Really? Could you tell me something, then?

This is it!

I've been a Sherlockian for ten years, since grade school.

Now's my chance to get close to him!

Is it about Baritsu, the mysterious Oriental martial art

he used on Professor Moriarty at Reichenbach Falls?

Is it about Watson's middle name, H? Or...

No, not that...

Oh! Is it the test of whether someone's a true Sherlockian,

* She's only imagining this.

Sherlock Holmes Doesn't Exist?!

"Holmes doesn't exist, does he?"

Sherlockians believe Holmes is an actual person (or act like they do)

Did you know there's a gamefowl (shamo) restaurant

in Aomori called "Shamolock Holmes"?

Who cares?!

Oh, is that sci-fi again?

Uh...

Kanbayashi Shiori Said

I'm sorry I hit you the other day.

Oh, it's no problem.

I want to do something to apologize.

Okay, pick a sci-fi book for me.

One that's likely to become a movie.

A movie?

I wanna read it before the movie,

so I can say, "The book was better! The book was better!"

Are you making fun of sci-fi fans?!

Oh! That's being made into a movie, right?

World of the Moon

Lend me that!

This is definitely a book that I want more people to read,

but the translation isn't the best...

It might be re-translated when the movie comes out next year,

so wait until then, Machida Sawako!

I... can't lend this to you right now.

If you'll wait a bit...

Nah, it's fine, then.
