The Library Defense Force was established in Seika 16 (2004) after the [[NoodleIncident Hino Nightmare Incident]] where a pro-Media Betterment Committee group raided the library over pro-censorship activities. The LDF is a paramilitary unit that's mandated to defend libraries and its staff, patrons, visitors and [=VIPs=] from the Media Betterment Corps and hostile pro-Media Betterment Act grousp operating in Japan.
The LDF works with ten bases throughout Japan: Hokkaido, Tohoku, Hokuriku, Chubu, Kanto, Kansai, Chugoku, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa under the command and control of local governments. They at least have one main public library for visitors to use them for reading and borrowing books as well as to conduct research without being harassed by the MBC.
The LDF has their arms, gear and vehicles acquired from surplus supplies from the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.
[[folder:General]]
* FlowerMotifs: Part of the LDF's emblem is a chamomile, which in the language of flowers means "energy in adversity". This was based on the life of Inamine's wife, who like the flower.
* MildlyMilitary: The Library Defense Force may get into gun battles, but they're still librarians and are responsible for everything from checking out books to running storytime for kids.
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: Doujo mentions that not everyone recruited in the LDF is working to ensure that the libraries and the staff/patrons/visitors/[=VIPs=] are protected from the MBC and pro-MBA factions. [[spoiler:They constanly suffer from moles, double agents and from self-entitled officers who were secretly turned by the MBA or by the LFPC.]]
** Some prefer to be under Tokyo's control to effectively fight the MBC on an equal front while others prefer to be under local government control.

* ACupAngst: While Kasahara never really complains about it, she does calm her heart by thinking, "Settle down under those A-cups."
* AdaptationDyeJob: Iku has brown hair in the novels and in the anime but blonde/light-brown hair in the manga.
* BadassAdorable: Kasahara's shoujo manga design.
* BookDumb: Iku states that she didn't do well in lectures. Cue scene of her passed out in class with her textbook over her face.
** The novel explains this a bit more -- because the university Iku went to didn't offer the classes she needed to qualify for a library job, she had to take night school courses on the side. She's still not a great student.
** The manga has Iku say she planned to be in the Defense Force since they only handle combat duties. It comes back to bite her when she's accepted to the Task Force, which handles both combat and library duties.
* CombatPragmatist: Kasahara is not afraid to attack people from behind during sparring sessions.
* GirlNextDoor: Kasahara's appearance is plain and somewhat boyish, befitting [[OneOfTheBoys her personality.]] She's also frank about how she sees things, particularly [[BelligerentSexualTension when it comes to Dojou]] constantly being on her case.
* HeroWorshipper: Iku starts to worship Doujo [[spoiler:even before and after she finds out that he's the Prince.]]
* HometownHero: Kasahara is widely viewed by female LDF members in Ibaraki as a hero since she was the first one to be recruited successfully to the LTF.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Kasahara is a terrible shot. Just hitting the paper with the target (though not the target itself) was an improvement.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Iku. When she has to go undercover as a normal library customer to catch a vouyeristic pervert and in a bonus chapter of the manga where she ends up wearing a PimpedOutDress. In the former, she feels embarrassed by everyone's compliments and in the latter, she isn't able to figure out why all the guys are suddenly staring at her.
* ShesGotLegs: The novels and manga even have Shibazaki point them out when Kasahara had to wear a mini-skirt.
-->'''Kasahara''': My legs aren't for show! [[BadassBoast They're for running fast and kicking ass]]!
* ShipperOnDeck: Iku and Shibasaki ship Marie and Komaki.
* TheSquadette: Kasahara after she enters the LTF.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Kasahara (as the tomboy) to Shibasaki (the Girly Girl).
* UnequalPairing: Kasahara is Doujo's subordinate, after all. Not that they're officially a couple (yet).
* WideEyedIdealist: Kasahara, at the start of the series. That's before she gets exposed to LDF ops and realizes that the MBC and their extremist supporters don't play fair that she's sometimes forced to be a CombatPragmatist.

* BerserkButton: Try and taunt him on why he doesn't join the LFPC. He'll beat you up until you're knocked out.

-->'''Doujo''': She's mine.
* DistractedByTheSexy: When Kasahara ends up in a PimpedOutDress, Doujo can only stare until Kasahara snaps him out of it.
* DrillSergeantNasty: What Iku thinks of Doujo. [[spoiler:Justified since Doujo was trying to work Kasahara so hard she would quit.]]
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: In the anime, Doujo develops memory loss (specifically, agnosia) following the battle at the Ibaraki Branch Library.]]
* TheNapoleon: Doujo. This trait is highlighted more in the anime version.
* OneHeadTaller: Inverted: Doujo is noticeably shorter than Kasahara. Needless to say, he's not exactly happy about this.
* RightBehindMe: In the prologue after recruit training, Kasahara calls Dojo a "Mean shorty" and he overhears it.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Whenever [[{{Tsundere}} Doujo]] does something nice for Iku, he justifies that he is doing it because he is her boss. An example: When he goes after her to comfort her, before exiting the room he unnecessary says "I'm going as her superior officer, okay?"...
