''[[R.O.D The TV]]'' is the sequel to the ''[[Read or Die]]'' [[OVA]]. This 26-episode series focuses on the Paper Sisters Maggie, Michelle and Anita, three young women who have [[Paper Master|paper-manipulation abilities]]. Although older sisters Maggie and Michelle are fanatical bibliophiles, [[Shorttank]] Anita paradoxically hates books. The three work together as detectives and independent agents in Hong Kong until the day Nenene Sumiregawa, an author who Maggie and Michelle are fans of, comes to the island for a book signing. The three are hired as her chaperones and drivers, but become her bodyguards as well when her life is threatened. After Nenene returns to Japan she enlists their help in looking for her missing friend Yomiko.
The rather strange title of the show refers to its fusion of the ''Read or Die'' [[OVA]] and the cast from ''Read or Dream'', a manga centered around three sisters with powers similar to Yomiko's. Adding to the confusion were both animated adaptations being [[Alternate Continuity|somewhat different in tone from their respective manga]]. Regardless its proved to be an interesting blend of both series that worked out particularly well.
The ''Read or Dream'' manga (which the Paper Sisters come from) is available in the States for the curious.
Has a [[Read or Die/Characters|character sheet]].
