R.O.D. Read or Die by Masunari Kouji and Amanda Winn Lee (2001)

A very enjoyable OAV that is the prequel to the Read or Die Television Series. These are 3 enjoyable episodes with the most unlikely of heroes, the worlds biggest bookworm out to save the world, but luckily she is a paper master so she can control and manipulate paper. I highly recommend this fun OAV.

Yomiko Readman (Reiko Miura) is the worlds biggest bookworm, her apartment is floor to ceiling with books, and her biggest joy is going out and spending her entire paycheck on books, and she goes to a special underground bookstore, and buys a special book out of the hands of Nancy Makuhari AKA Miss Deep (Neya Michiko), and quickly has a run in with a mutant clone of an ancient historical figure known as Aegen, this one riding a giant grasshopper, who steals her book, but using her powers as a paper master, and she gets her book back, but doesn’t get to hang on to it because her boss Mr. Joker (Goda Hozumi) shows up and she is off on a mission, because she is Agent Paper working for the British Library, and she is teamed up with Miss Deep and Drake a military guy to find the second book and figure out what is going on.
Yomiko grows to really like Nancy, but they find out Nancy is a spy, and is really working for the leader of the Aegen, who is using music in the books, which is a suicide symphony that will make anyone who hears it kills themselves, and they have a huge facility in the middle of the ocean that is going to launch a rocket to broadcast the signal the world over. Agent Paper and Drake go in,
