Plot
Urano Motosu lived an ordinary life. None of the people around her understood her boundless love for books. She was read out by any topic: history, geography, foreign languages and many others. She understood more than anyone that a book is an invaluable gift, a repository of knowledge that is carefully passed down from generation to generation. But once a misfortune happened…
A few moments before her own death, Urano only asked God to fulfill her dream – to be reborn into a person around whom there would be books.

Opening her eyes, Urano realized that now she is a 5-year-old girl named Myne. She lives in a poor family, she has a mom, dad and older sister Tuuli. In the new house there is no shower, no toilet, no … books! The girl was ready to endure a lot, including the thought that in her previous life her heartbroken mother remained completely alone. But how will Myne live without books?
From this day begins the story of the girl Myne, a lover of books. For the sake of her dream, she is ready to do anything: write her own compositions, fill them with drawings. And in the end, she will someday have her own big library! Exactly the same as Urano Motosu in a previous life…
