I'm not really sure how it relates to <i>Read or Die</i> other than sharing the butt-kicking bibliophile premise.

The manga, though... the title made me ask if those were my only choices. In what I’ve read of the Read or Die manga, I didn’t see any overlap with the anime, and I liked the anime a lot.

I recommend the original OVA, but the Read or Die the TV Series DVDs by Geneon are unholy-expensive. They also don't follow this manga at all (the manga's a prequel, right?)
