(Note: Translation progress varies for each version.)
Dantalian no Shoka (Dantalian's Bookshelves) (ダンタリアンの書架) is a light novel series written by Gakuto Mikumo and illustrated by G-Yuusuke. The series consists of short stories, so every chapter is stand-alone and contains a closed story. The chapters can be read in any order.
Story Synopsis
Huey, a young ex-pilot, inherited the old mansion of his deceased bibliomanic grandfather and with it the book collection stored in there. However, there was one condition: he also had to inherit the "Bibliotheca".
When he inspects the mansion, Huey discovers a cellar that is filled with piles of books. In the middle of these books he comes across a black-dressed girl who is silently reading a book. She is called Dalian and has a big lock hanging before her. She herself is the gateway to the "Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian", which contains the prohibited "Phantom Books".

Character Introduction
Dalian
Custodian of the demonic library "Bibliotheca Mystica de Dantalian". She has a sweet tooth and is a real bibliophile. She also has a sharp tongue.
Huey
After encountering Dalian, he gets involved in various adventures revolving around the phantom books. He is Dalian's keykeeper and hence the only one able to open her seal.
Flamberge
The Silver Biblioprincess—restricted in her movement by a straitjacket and several padlocks. But why is she also known as the "Broken Biblioprincess"...?
Hal
A man that introduces himself as a "book burner". He uses to roam about on a motorcycle with Flam in the sidecar. He detests the very existence of phantom books and has sworn to burn each single one of them.
Rasiel
The Red Biblioprincess. An eyepatch on her left eye conceals the lock to her library "Bibliotheca Razielis Archangeli". She appears to be rivals with Dalian...?
Professor
A mysterious man that goes by the title "professor". He prides himself on good disguising skills. He seems to be supporting Rasiel, but what is his real objective...? He shows interest in Huey.
