For our next light novel club meeting, we’re going to be doing something a little different. Instead of one light novel volume, we’re going to discuss many.

Have you ever wondered or looked into the history of books and how they are made?

As we enter the classroom to discuss the thirteenth book in our light novel club, I see a solitary girl sitting on the far side of the room.
