About this title

Synopsis

Michelle is a romantic daydreamer and hardcore book collector. Maggie is a soft-spoken bookworm who always gets mistaken for a boy. Anita is a tomboy who doesn't have time for reading. Together, they're the Paper Sisters, three very different siblings united by a strange power—the ability to control paper in any way they desire! And from their Hong Kong detective agency, they solve any and all cases involving books! (Source: VIZ Media)

Main characters

Anita King109 fan favorites
External profile
Age:13 Height: 141 cm (4' 7") Nationality: Chinese The youngest sister is a spitfire who specializes in using her paper offensively (by using paper "blades" and throwing index cards like shuriken), but she also relies upon her physical martial arts skills in combat. Unlike all other known Paper Masters, she dislikes books (but is obsessed with collecting frogs and drinking milk). Although Anita sometimes acts bratty and self-important, she deeply loves her sisters. She frequently fights with Nenene, who is equally outspoken, but beneath their squabbles, one can see they develop a strong friendship through the series. She is well liked in her class and is especially admired by classmate named Hisami Shiishi (whom Anita nicknames "Hisa"). Hisa compares the two to the main characters with an extremely close friendship in Anne of Green Gables. (Source: Wikipedia)

Age:20 Height: 185cm (6' 1") Nationality: Chinese The middle Paper Sister, Maggie is claustrophilic and loves reading almost as much as her elder sister Michelle. She is tall, quiet and prefers male clothing. Therefore she's sort of intimidating at first, but in fact is quite shy and kind hearted. Her paper specialty is defense and summoning of various paper "elementals".

Age:25 Height: 168cm (5' 6") Nationality: Chinese The oldest sister, generally considered the leader and strategist of the three. She has a cheerful, ostensibly ditzy personality. Her favorite books are the Harry Potter series, and she has a soft spot for cute things and small children. She manifests her power primarily through ranged weapons, such as bows and arrows. Michelle's love of books almost matches that of Yomiko's; when she arrives in Japan, Michelle buys out so many bookstores that people begin to speculate Yomiko has returned. It is also shown in the anime that she has a different level of hearing than most people, as she was not affected by the sound jammer that makes other people have headaches. (Source: Wikipedia)
