Hi all,

Just an update that this is being looked at but there is no ETA yet. We have figured out that this appears to only affect "portrait"-aspect ratios, meaning if you turn your phone/tablet sideways or make your browser window into a landscape shape, the manga chapters should load. Alternatively, the app is not affected at all, this only affects web browsers, so if you can download the app, you can bypass this issue for the time being.

We'll keep you updated as we learn more. Sorry for the inconvenience!

@myskaros Hello, I am wondering if there has been any update on this?

Thanks for posting this one, I meant to but then a bunch of IRL stuff happened. It's a cute hardworking cat girl, what more could you ask for? Windmill slam license.

@Drenok said in Ascendance of a Bookworm - anime discussion:

We are still on episode 4 and no information on the ingredient gathering -_-.

At this point, I'm expecting that there will be no medical examination, and the jureve plan will get revealed just prior to the autumn festival travel.

The magic practice arena looks like a 1950s school gymnasium. Really weird is the row of load bearing windows 2/3 of the way up. EDIT TO ADD: And they have mezzanine floors inside. That makes it rather a questionable place to have someone try flying a highbeast for the very first time.

Rozemyne and Ferdinand start their war of weaponizing Rihyarda against each other.

We see that when people exit a magic room, they un-fade from black, with no view into the room from outside. This is a nice little detail.

In the workshop, we see the wall is closely fitted stones. This doesn't make sense, as it is a wall made with entwicklen magic. It would only look like this if someone went to extra effort to intentionally design it to do so.

@Question There will be always things that ppl do not like. In such cases you can just skip it and not get worked up about it. I personally hate when petite woman crushes giant buffed guy wo any proper explanation (magic, technology, different species or whatever). If I find such things in book I drop it.

@Harucross Yup, upz for this to be licensed

It’s to be expected since it’s anime, but wow is that art simplified.

I love the manga that JNC’s put out so far. I’ll likely give the anime a try.

Probably better as an anime than a LN at this point.

Just saw the anime announcement

Biblia Anime

For stories with female protagonists there is also I Refuse to Be Your Enemy! (though it lacks that tag for some reason) and The Extraordinary, the Ordinary, and SOAP! as well.

@Paul-Nebeling nah, the series is still ongoing. There's even a sequel series being written in the WN.

Volume 32 just hasn't been published in Japan yet.

Hello,

It is updated. Thank you

The anime was wonderful; I'd be quite happy to be able to read the LN.

@unknownmat - Hanashi has a more reasonable release schedule for other titles like I Saved Myself With a Potion at April 16 for volume 1 and July 30 for volume 2 = 3.5 months, and Gate volume 1 March 25 and 2 on June 30 = 3 months.
