Read or Dream[a] is a Japanese manga series written by Hideyuki Kurata and illustrated by Ran Ayanaga. It was serialized in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Ultra Jump from October 19, 2002,[2] to May 19, 2005,[3] with its chapters collected in four tankōbon volumes. In North America, the series was licensed for English release by Viz Media in 2006.[4]
The "Paper Sisters Detective Company" consists of three young women who live in Hong Kong: Anita King, Michelle Cheung and Maggie Mui (they are not blood relations, but treat each other like sisters). Maggie, Michelle, and Anita are papermasters, meaning they can telekinetically manipulate paper to do anything they want, such as creating bulletproof shields and razor sharp swords. Their detective agency, which specializes in finding lost books (though they are often asked to find missing pets and do bodyguard duty as well), serves as the source of most of their adventures.
This series is set in the same universe as the manga series Read or Die, featuring a common antagonist to both series, the Dokusensha Corporation. Read or Die's protagonist Yomiko Readman also makes a cameo appearance.
The Paper Sisters and supporting character Hisami Hishiishi appear in the television series R.O.D the TV, but this series exists in a separate continuity than Read or Dream (differences include how the Sisters met Hisami and the origin of the Paper Sisters).
