Kokoro Library started out as a manga by Nobuyuki Takagi, which was serialized in Dengeki Daioh from 2000 to 2002 and compiled into three volumes. There are a lot of miracles along the way, both small and large.

It starts out as a typical moe show, but after a few episodes switches gears toward a much more emotional experience, when the girls' interaction with the outside world leads to a string of highs and lows in the relationship between them and with other people. The series follows the sisters' moments of joy and sadness, usually interspersed with days of boredom when again no customers come to visit the library.

There is Iina, the oldest and the motherly one Aruto, the bookworm intellectual one and Kokoro, the youngest who has just started to learn the ropes of becoming a librarian - and who takes immense pride in the fact that she shares her name with the library. Kokoro Library depicts the lives of three sisters who manage the library inherited from their parents, far out in the hills. As these five friends face many different phenomena at the whims of a mysterious entity known as «Heartseed», their friendship is put to the ultimate test."This is Kokoro Library, a place where miracles happen." One day, they begin experiencing a phenomenon in which they randomly swap bodies amongst themselves. The story involves five high school students, Yaegashi Taichi, Nagase Iori, Inaba Himeko, Aoki Yoshifumi and Kiriyama Yui, who are all members of the Cultural Research Club. These episodes adapted the first four novels of Kokoro Connect. A 17-episode anime adaptation was made by Silver Link the first 13 aired in July 2012 and the last 4 aired in December 2012. The series is complete with 11 volumes (8 main volumes and 3 side-story volumes).Īn ongoing manga adaptation under the same name was written by the original author and illustrated by CUTEG in October 2010.
