http://www.tobooks.jp/booklove_ova/index.html
OVA is announced to be bundled with Part 5 Volume 1 which has a release date of 2020-03-10.
It will have two parts. The first is a side story from Part 3 Volume 2 and the second is a side story from Part 1 Volume 3 (specifically Tuuli — Visiting Corinna)

According to the author's post, this OVA is only sold as bundle and only from TO Books online store and will not be sold separately. I would expect it will be sold separately eventually, but wonder if it will make to crunchyroll someday?

@hiroto Oh my. Is that "edible ink jet coloring" used for the majority of the cake? And Myne seems to be missing her trademark hair stick. But still, quite lovely work.

No she doesn't.

@hiroto Ah, so she does. My X-ray vision seems to be on the fritz.

Speaking of Ferdnand, does the anime's framing "device" actually happen in the LN? (Obviously requires a Spoiler tag to answer.)

Hi guys , i found this forum now.Before i post anything i want to ask about spoiler tag.If we are talking about LN should we use spoiler tag or can we assume everyone here read the LN in J-Novel?

Rahul Balaggan

@hopebestman well this is a topic for discussing the anime, so if you want to discuss difference between how the Anime adapted the LN no spoiler tag is needed, for the most part the only time you would need a spoiler tag is when you discuss something that has not already been officially translated by J-Novel Club

@rahul-balaggan

I'm afraid of this forum becoming 100% spoiler once anime surpasses LN.

Rahul Balaggan

@hiroto You 100% correct, however as long as the talk stays within the anime discussion thread here, then there will be no issue, if users start discussing the anime in the LN topics that would be an issue and I would address it when and if it occurs.

However when the anime overtakes the official LN translation if anyone comes into the anime discussion thread and is upset with spoilers that will be on them

@rahul-balaggan You know, out of an overabundance of caution I'm going to unsub from this thread right now, I think. There was that OVA with content from Part 3 or something announced.

sniper_samurai

@nosgoroth There was, but the short story in question is apparently set between Parts 1 & 2 despite being in a Part 3 volume.

hiroto

@rahul-balaggan

Yeah, in that case the title of the topic should be something like:

[SPOILER] Ascendance of a Bookworm - Season 3 anime discussion [SPOILER]

hiroto

@nosgoroth

OVA was not a spoiler. Two stories in these OVA are short stories included in LN.

EDIT

Oh, not quite. 1st one is included in Part 1 Vol 3. 2nd one is the side story in Part 3, although the timeline of the story itself is within that of Part 1 Vol 3.

Rahul Balaggan

@nosgoroth Unfortunately for me as the forum moderator I can't unsub from any topic, I have to watch every topic and open every single spoiler box...

@rahul-balaggan I see , so i can talk freely in here IF J-Novel translated so like until P2V2. Ok thanks.

Yea, if people want to talk about the web novel/ light novel beyond where JNC is, I'm sure everyone here would prefer if they started a new thread (preferably in the "Web Novel Discussion" tab).

Also there may be some people in here who are anime-only, and haven't read the light novel, so anything beyond the anime, even if translated by JNC, would need a spoiler tag.

thats my major concern :) cuz in this forum why could be people only watches but not readers :D If it was in reddit or somewhere else i could understand but not in j-novel's forum but i will take care to use spoiler tag when talking ahead on anime.
