The subtitle, "We are Paper Sisters Detective Agency," suggests these are detective stories, but that is less than half true. The rest is mostly whining. These are much less entertaining than the Read or Die stories!

We be livin in some strange timelines for me to visit back here again. What one might say at first glance! I actually like R.O.D. It’s hilarious. Scattered all over the place, but funny :3

Like again it was the next book in the series.
Tokyo, modern day.
well the first conflict is that Mags read a book and now is changing a personalities. the second one is that mich gets fat. the third one is that anita gets sick, and finally the last one they need to protect an auther that might gets kidnaped.
Anita is the youngest sister and she is dynamic (she changes) first off she hates books but wants to protect the author. she is small, young, aggressive. "but i left the books in some pretty dangerous places" (page 67)
never leave your friends/family even for something better.
dont do reading startagys.
i loved the book (its a manga)

A series of short stories about sisters who can magically manipulate paper and run a failing detective agency. Third volume of the same stuff.
I really wanted to like this series. And the one before it, "R.O.D.: Read or Die." At least the one with Yomiko Readman had some action and a straight plot! this series has finally lost my interest, for many of the same reasons as the Thieves' World anthologies started by Robert Aspirin--lack of continuity & insipid story plots = bored readers. can't have that, now.

The constant purchasing of books is draining the detective agency…that and the fact that they’re getting no work. Desperation and hunger lead to some quirky choices. Because of their dire circumstances, the stories in this volume deal more with the bonding between the three sisters than with real work. With more fantastical plotting than actual detective work, the reader is once again immersed in the lives of the delightful Paper Sisters. Weirdness is afoot and cuteness abounds, even when they cross paths with a determined kidnapper and her unusual “partner”.

Volume 3 is one of my favorites because it has the story " The 24 faces of Maggie Mui."
