I love the manga, even though it's a harem it feels like the emotional connection with the "main girl" is very well written. A top tier fantasy romance

You're missing out, the second scene was even more memorable than the first.

Given how much I'd rather not remember the first scene, this is hardly a recommendation.

Nah nah, just skip ahead to the chapter entitled "Yaichi's Gratitude", you don't even need any context from the first scene, she doesn't even appear in the chapter. It's deranged for a completely different reason. I cannot accept you dropping the series without first experiencing the pain of its one-two punch opener. :P

Boosting this!

Have been looking for a light novel translation, and it would be great if J-Novel would translate it.

@Kalessin I ain't giving up; I'll be commenting a request every 99 days until JNC finally does it.

@Libri-Liberorum said in Ascendance of a Bookworm - anime discussion:

Then behind them they each have a guard knight --- except for Rozemyne, who has four guard knights. What is with that?

Probably because Rozemyne's guard knights are known designs but not the others' guard knights.
I also found it odd that Georgine has no retainers behind her. Was it explicitly mentioned in the LN?

@Ryan-Monahan None of the second contest books have come onto the prepub schedule yet. This is longer than they took on the first contest's winners, but since it's all of them, I wouldn't be too concerned something specific is going on with any individual story.

@Serah I love it very much, it's one of my favorite series, but the Novel has no official English translation

This one should be a slam dunk, even more so if they start before the extra visibility from the anime fades too much.

I would love to see J-Novel Club licensing this, but I‘m not sure if they even can, because of Square Enix‘s English imprint…

@melodymagica Apologies for the late reply, but we've been informed that this issue has been fixed. Please let us know if you encounter further difficulties!

Would love to add that I would love to this licensed. Hope this gains more traction.

Can this still happen?

I would love, love, LOVE for this series to get licensed and translated! I borrowed the manga from my library last week, fell head over heels after Volume 1, immediately bought every available English volume for my e-collection, and then spent the weekend binge-watching the anime.

So imagine my excitement when I realized the anime covered material beyond Volume 11… only for Season 2 to end in the middle of a plot arc with no guarantee of a Season 3. 😭

Please, PLEASE license this series so we can finally find out what happens next! I am begging—my curiosity cannot survive this cliffhanger!
