User blog:PikachuPrincess/State of the Wiki

I created the Library Wars: Love & War wiki way back in 2012 (which, as I am writing this, I realize is nearly 10 years ago, which is absolutely insane). I was a mousy, book-devouring 15 year old who had just discovered this series in my tiny local library's equally tiny manga section, and I fell in love. I created this wiki, set some things up, and then promptly became very busy when I turned 16 and got a after-school job at the local library.

I'm now in my mid-twenties, work at a large medical library, and am finishing up my Master's in Library and Information Studies (MLIS) so I can move up a rank in the Library Forces, so to speak! Looking back at the past decade, I think that this series actually was fundamental in propelling me toward this professional career, which sounds corny, but hey, sometimes it's nice to be corny and sentimental. All of that said, way back when I created the wiki, there was a separate wiki for the anime series. For those of you who don't know, the original light novel series has had multiple adaptations, from the Love & Wars manga, to an anime, to a radio drama, to a couple live-action movies. From what I recall from my intense research 10 years ago (I was obsessed with this series), each adaptation is a separate adaptation of the novels. That is to say, the manga is not adapting the anime, nor did the anime adapt the manga. Because of this, there may be some differences in characterization, events, etc, etc.

However, I've don't think that the anime wiki still exists. I did some hunting, and if I missed it, definitely let me know, but since it is missing, I feel that this space does not need to be 100% devoted to the manga. I will be honest, I never watched the anime, although I did watch the live-action films, but I know that it may have a wealth of knowledge and I would love for people to feel free to share it. We're all Library War(s) fans, so I'd like to open it up to the other media as well!

This is already being done on some pages, so please help contribute even if you've only watched the anime, or the live-action movies, or whatever! Just please note where the information comes from. I hope that this all makes sense! I will definitely try to be more active on here than I have been in the past decade (whoops! But I was a smol teenager, so don't blame me too much! Haha!), so please feel free to ask me any questions or let me know if there's anything I can do to help you. I'm glad to be "back"!
