My name is Rafael Alves, known as Shinzo. I created the AnimeNew website in 2009 to offer news about anime, manga, and games directly from Japan.

The anime Ascendance of a Bookworm ( Honzuki no Gekokujou ) has confirmed a two-cour starting April 4, 2026 , in Japan. The production revealed a key visual and main PV , both produced by WIT STUDIO , raising expectations for the most political arc of the story.

The visuals highlight the scene known as Schutzaria Night , with Rozemyne ​​resolute and Ferdinand observing from a distance. In this way, the artwork reinforces the relationship between the two and anticipates the immersion into the rigid noble world of Ehrenfest. Meanwhile, the trailer introduces magic, new characters, and the conflict generated by the protagonist's growing mana.

Furthermore, the opening was performed by Little Glee Monster , with the song "Pages," which already appears in the trailer and relates to the theme of moving forward, page by page.
