Descended from a long line of book collectors, high school student Mifuyu is surrounded by books in every aspect of her life. Her great-grandfather established the famous Mikura Hall, a library in the heart of town, and even the townspeople are all avid readers. There’s just one problem—Mifuyu hates books! But when a thief in Mikura Hall triggers an ancient curse, she’s left with no choice but to reclaim the stolen books herself…by entering the very stories she despises! With the help of the mysterious Mashiro, will she be able to restore her great-grandfather’s collection and save her town from a magical doom?

The “books’ curse”—an ancient hex that activates when a volume is stolen from the massive library known as Mikura Hall. Its power has transformed the town of Yomunaga into a storybook world not once but twice! And the person tracking down the serial novel-napper is none other than the heir to the collection, Mifuyu Mikura! Having stopped the crook in their tracks during the first round, she must now venture inside the Black Book, a gritty noir novel thick with intrigue and rife with gunfire…This time, can she unmask the thief for good?!

Stuck in the world of The Silver Beast until she finds the book thief, things are looking bleak for Mifuyu. She’s fully transformed into a fox, and even more pressingly...Mashiro was swallowed by the Beast itself! Can she rescue her friend and solve the secret behind this string of burglaries before it’s too late? All will become clear in this thrilling and illuminating conclusion to the Whoever Steals series!
