The story of Bungo to Alchemist is set in a world where great works of literature have the power to move people's hearts. However, literature itself is under threat by "Invader", a malevolent force born of negative human emotion that seeks to erase these great works from humanity's collective memories. Only "Alchemists" - reincarnated authors with special abilities - have the power to defend the world of literature from "Invader".
