Plot
The Library of Congress never planned for this!

A sinister plot is afoot and only one schoolteacher - a special agent with an affinity for rare books, can stop it. She is Ms. Yomiko Readman - better known to her colleagues in Section A of Library Special Operations as "Agent Paper". Someone is bent upon procuring a rare lost Beethoven manuscript and has enlisted a few of history's most extraordinary personalities, through stolen DNA, to aid in the endeavor. Readman and her fellow super-powered operatives must tangle with the likes of Tokugawa-Era scientist Gennai Hiraga, Aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal, and 19th century entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre in a desperate race to find the books and save the world!

Action and adventure abound in this thrilling anime series featuring top-rate animation directed by Kouji Masunari (Kokoro Toshokan).

Contains the complete R.O.D. series-three 30-minute episodes!
