Dantalian no Shoka / Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian / Dantalian's BookshelfSummary
Hugh Anthony Disward inherits an old mansion and a personal library from his grandfather. In the basement of the mansion, he meets a mysterious girl, Dalian. She is a Dantalian and a gateway to "Dantalian's bookshelf", which stores the prohibited books of the demons.
