The episodes will also be available on VOD in August. The story follows the magical voyages of Hatsuki, a gorgeous, tall, dark-haired brooding high- school girl who develops what she knows is an unsuitable kind of platonic love for her adopted older sister, Hatsumi. But on the stroke of midnight on Hatsumi’s 16th birthday, she is suddenly surrounded by a green light and vanishes in front of Hatsuki. Unexpectedly, the series’ heroine is deeply saddened by her beloved sister’s disappearance. Soon thereafter, she manages to follow Hatsumi helped by a being resembling a fat baby chick (literally), ending up in a place called “The Great Library”, a repository containing all of the worlds in the universe within books. The missing girl isn’t there, though, so the search for Hatsuki’s great love continues and involves traveling from book to book, across enchanted worlds and dimensions, along with the library’s guardian. Yamibou originally ran in Japan in the fall of 2003, but was just released in the U.S., and came from Studio Deen. The fantasy series was directed by Yuji Yamaguchi and written by Tomomi Mochizuki.
