# Introduction

*「たとひ魂は砕けても、想いは砕けない」
"Though a soul may perish, its feelings shall never fade away."*

You are taken to a world where you can meet renowned writers of the past. Your task as a **Special Duty Librarian** (特務司書, *tokumu shisho*), also known as **Alchemist** (アルケミスト), is to delve into **tainted books** (有碍書, *yuugaisho*) to purify them with parties composed of **writers** (文豪, *bungou*) to fight the **Taints** (侵蝕者, *shinshokusha*), who have tainted the books. To gain writers, you must **transmigrate** them by delving into **ensouled books** (有魂書, *yuukonsho*), or by meeting them while battling Taints in tainted books.

**Bungou to Alchemist** ("BunAl") was launched on November 1, 2016, by DMM GAMES (EXNOA LLC) as a browser game, expanding to mobile platform the following year on June 14. Through the years the franchise has expanded into various media like novels, stage plays and even anime.

# About the Wiki

This is an unofficial wiki to help English-speaking players enjoy the literature-themed DMM online game 文豪とアルケミスト (*Bungou to Alchemist*, or "Bungo and Alchemist", or literally "Writers and Alchemist"), also known shortly as 文アル (BunAl / BunAru). We aim to provide a high-quality interpretation of the game's mechanics and nuances, and hope that all can come to understand Japanese culture and the spirit and charm of this game (and franchise overall) better through our efforts.

We appreciate all kind of help to run this wiki. See our **User Conduct** for the wiki's "rules", and **To-Do List** for things we are needing at the moment. On **Staff page**, you can find the people who to contact regarding this wiki's various matters.
