Yamibou
 Home/Change Series
Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tibibito, or "The Dark, the Hat, and the Travelers of the Book" (Yamibou for short) was first published as a video game in 2002. There the player took on the task of locating a girl who has been abducted by a dragon and taken to a mysterious alternative world. By entering the "books" in a celestial library, the player interacted with people and creatures in a number of alternative universes, while looking for traces of the kidnapped girl.
The anime, produced in 13 episodes by Studio Deen in 2003, replaces the gamer’s point of view with the warrior girl Hazuki. The new story arc is based on the same "library of worlds" concept but develops a transgressive yuri scenario. Hazuki has developed an intense sexual affection for her sister Hatsumi (she's adopted, but that doesn’t make it any less transgressive). On her sixteenth birthday, Hatsumi vanishes, and to find her, Hazuki makes her way to the library of worlds, where the curator, Lilith (she of the big hat) agrees to help her explore the many worlds and locate her.
