Read or Die
About “Read or Die”:
R.O.D: Read or Die is a Japanese light novel series written by Hideyuki Kurata, published under Shueisha's Super Dash Bunko imprint. Read or Die follows Yomiko Readman, codename "The Paper", an agent for the (fictional) Special Operations Division of the British Library. There are twelve Read or Die novels, though in June 2016, it was announced via Twitter that a thirteenth volume was set to be released. Kurata confessed in a 2021 interview with long-time collaborator Masashi Ishihama that to date, he has not continued with the novel project and has no immediate plans to do so. As of 2025, there are no plans for when Kurata will release the final installment.
