Ascendance of a Bookworm Receiving Anime from Wit Studio

Part 3: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke, the third part in the Ascendance of a Bookworm light novel series by Miya Kazuki, will be receiving an anime thanks to Wit Studio. The first two parts have already been adapted by the anime studio Ajiado.

Not a whole lot of information has been released yet, like a basic timeline or people involved.

The light novel series, which is known as Honzuki no Gekokujō – Shisho ni Naru Tame niwa Shudan o Erandeiramasen in Japanese, launched in 2013, and its thirty-third volume is scheduled to come out this week.

In addition to the previous anime adaptation, the series has received a manga. J-Novel Club publishes the original light novels as well as the manga in English, and gave this description for the plot:

A certain college girl who’s loved books ever since she was a little girl dies in an accident and is reborn in another world she knows nothing about. She is now Myne, the sickly five-year-old daughter of a poor soldier. To make things worse, the world she’s been reborn in has a very low literacy rate and books mostly don’t exist. She’d have to pay an enormous amounts of money to buy one. Myne resolves herself: If there aren’t any books, she’ll just have to make them! Her goal is to become a librarian. This story begins with her quest to make books so she can live surrounded by them! Dive into this biblio-fantasy written for book lovers and bookworms!

Looking at the previous anime, the first season debuted in late 2019, with the second season coming out less than a year later in spring 2020. The third season came out a little later, launching in 2022. There are additionally two OVA installments for the franchise. People wanting to check out the anime seasons that are already out there can do so on Crunchyroll.
