(Kako's Summary)

Kako is a bookworm and the only daughter of the family that runs Natsume Books, a used book store in Kamihama. Her mother is a Japanese teacher. Kako's a softy, never acting selfishly, but that doesn't mean she doesn't make herself completely clear when she has to.

(Andreana Info)

The Doppel of mistaken steps. Its form is cutting. The master of this emotion fears her Doppel, as it unreservedly swings its blade to chop up everything in sight- even her precious books. Inwardly, though, she also feels a sense of release that she can't quite describe. Unlike its ever-fearful master, the manifested Doppel chops with its guillotine without ever stopping to think. In addition to its target's physical body, it shreds any and all magical connections they have. This Doppel can only attack physically from very close range, and sometimes slashes at its allies by mistake, so it tends to leave itself open to attack. But the master of this emotion cannot control it, and so can only remain frozen in fear.

The term used for her Doppel's nature is "Isamiashi". It is a sumo term for when a sumo wrestler attacks too aggressively and steps out of the ring, or a Japanese idiom derived from that term, meaning to act out of impatience and recklessness despite that it probably lead to failure.

(Kako's Side Story)

In Kako's narration, she introduces herself as a thirteen year old girl whose family runs a bookshop called "Natsume Library." Her father runs the bookshop, and her mother teaches middle school Japanese classes. Kako narrates she is an ardent booklover. She tells her father the novel he recommended, Furuyashiki Daihachirou's "The Melancholy of a Sugar Glider" was so good she read it in one sitting. Her father recommends another book by the same author called "The Trembling of a Flying Squirrel". Kako enjoyed her life of books until one day everything changed. She sees her father talking on the phone, talking about the bookstore he inherited from his father.

It turns out that a land shark was looking to take Natsume Library, which was the last shop left in the district, and build a mansion over the area. Kako's father had no intention of selling and tells Kako it will be alright. Her father then went around, getting support against the buyer. He initially meets some success, but then he met with harassment. One day Kako finds one of her father's flyers, made to oppose the construction, torn up in front of her shop. She also finds her parents are fighting, though her father said not to worry. Then one day, the bookstore, which was also their house, burned down. Kako had to restrain her father as he tried to run to the house.
