TO Books announced on Wednesday (6) that the light novel series Ascendance of a Bookworm ( Honzuki no Gekokujou – Shisho ni Naru Tame niwa Shudan o Erandeiramasen ) by Miya Kazuki will have a new anime by Wit Studio .
The new anime will adapt Part 3: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke from the light novel series. (The previous three television anime seasons covered the first two parts of the light novel series.)
Synopsis
A certain college student, who has loved books since childhood, dies in an accident and is reborn in another world she doesn't know. Now, she is Myne, the sickly five-year-old daughter of a poor soldier. Furthermore, the world she is reborn into has a very low literacy rate, and books are practically nonexistent. Faced with this challenge, she realizes she would have to pay a huge amount of money to buy a book. Determined, Myne resolves: if there are no books, she will have to make them! With this purpose in mind, her goal is to become a librarian. Thus, the story begins with her quest to create books so she can live surrounded by them! Immerse yourself, therefore, in this biblio-fantasy written especially for book lovers and devourers of stories!
Kazuki began the original novels on the website “ Shoetsuka ni Naro ” in 2013 and concluded the web novel in 2017. You Shiina illustrates the print edition. The series is nearing its conclusion on December 9th with the release of volume 33. In 2017, Kazuki launched a spin-off story titled “Hannelore no Kizokuin Gonensei,” which is still ongoing.
Finally, the light novel inspired a three-season anime adaptation by studio Ajia-do . The first season premiered in October 2019 and ended in December of the same year, with 14 episodes, divided into two parts. Crunchyroll streamed the anime simultaneously with its broadcast in Japan. The second part was released in Japan in April 2020. While the second season premiered in October 2020, Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan. The third season of the anime premiered on April 11, 2022.
