Library Wars: Love & War
Library Wars takes place in Japan in the near future, where the government has passed the Media Betterment Act, which gives them the right to censor books, movies, magazines, newspapers, and other media which they deem as harmful. They send out employees of the Media Betterment Committee (MBC) to gather up any media that they see as unfit and destroy it.

The Libraries pass the Library Freedom Act in opposition of the MBC, and, with the help of local governments, establish their own army, called the Library Forces, to fight against the MBC. They protect books, and libraries are the only places protected from the MBC.

Libraries have the freedom to circulate materials in their collections.
