Read or Die

In a lifeless high-rise in Odaiba, Tokyo, a man from Hong Kong arrives with a rare book titled "The Black Book of Fairy Tales." He faces an Englishman, but the latter is accompanied by a young Eurasian woman in glasses, introduced as a consultant. During a weapons check, the man inspects her coat and is stunned to find it lined with numerous pockets filled with books, magazines, newspapers, and other items.
