Moe Tournament Résumé
Round 1 - Japan Saimoe 2011

When they say "Don't judge a book by its cover," they mean that the quiet librarian who never stands up for herself might very well be secretly preparing a military campaign to occupy the library building. Her food rations are no more than what she bought for lunch, but the strength of her ideals is unmatched.

Shiomiya Shiori would be more than happy if she could discuss those ideals with her would-be opponents. She would tell them all about books. And by books she means love, time, glory, sacrifice, space, friendship and life. The problem is, she is usually too nervous to start any kind of conversation or even respond to questions when addressed. If she could just write the answer out instead...

This is not to say that Shiori is unaware of her shortcoming in terms of communication skills or unwilling to expend effort on improving herself. Every day, she works hard to take an 'aggressive' stance towards the delinquents breaking library rules. Sometimes, she even manages to open her mouth to berate them. What words come out is a different matter altogether.

Shiori is as elusive as a true library fairy, but will she ever gather the courage to leave her enchanted fortress?
