Things could always have changed, but in a past Q&A Sam indicated that they’re not interested in licensing these anthologies. So don’t get your hopes up.

Personally I'd just recommend buying it somewhere else

@xdrfiredogx Haha indeed, it's the perfect descriptor for the likes of Epic Movie or Meet the Spartans.

To parody isekai you have to be an isekai of course so I can't guarantee it'll be for you. That's the beauty of the catchups of course though. I have several series I'm now purchasing premiums for that I wouldn't even have considered buying if they were from another publisher. I'd say the first 4 or 5 parts of volume 1 would give anyone a pretty clear idea whether it's to their tastes or not.

You've got about a week and a half to finish reading April's catchups! May catchups will be coming on Monday, May 2, around 10 AM PDT/1700 UTC!

Just managed to scrape in Economics of Prophecy before tomorrow’s turnover. I was intrigued by the concept but somewhat unimpressed with its execution.

I also got pretty bored of The Magic in This Other World after just two volumes, I rather quickly didn’t vibe with its pacing and hearing people’s comments on later volumes just killed my interest I guess lol.

At least Bookworm manga was there to appreciate <3

I am so freaking happy, I had been trying to read honzuki, and had to rush it since I just joined a few days ago. Love and hugs for you!!!

@Everbright Just letting you know that if you don't read any other J-novel series with you subscription, you can cancel your subscription and just preorder SSC3 when the prepub starts. This also gives you access to the prepubs.

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

In the LN, she was wearing a pinned-together mockup of the new gown, and Damuel was brought in to get the reaction of a male noble --- at which point his jaw dropped and hearts appeared in his eyes.

Wasen't the fitting in Part 3 Volume 4? We are still in Volume 3 contents here.

There are two fittings. First, in the orphanage, there is a meeting with commoners which has two goals. One was for Rozemyne to explain her gown plan to Corrina and her assistants, and for them to use cheap cloth to mock up the gown on Brigitte, all of which occurred in the hidden room. While this was going on, Rozemyne exited the room to meet with Benno et al. Then once the mock up was done, they decided they needed the opinion of a noble male, so they invited Damuel to see Brigitte in the mockup gown, which was when he fell for her. The anime has just covered this event --- measuring Brigitte in the hidden room while Rozemyne met with Benno --- but omitted Damuel's part.

I just went to find this in the book, and realize I've made an error. There are three dress preparation events. The anime has just passed the first one, which was measurements only. The second one is the first non-prologue chapter (A New Dress) of part 4, which is after the spring ingredient collection, and is when Damuel sees Brigitte in the mockup gown, so the anime has not yet reached this point. So you are correct.

Later they have the gown complete except for fine adjustments, and there is a tea party where Brigitte gets the final adjustments done, to show off the new gown trend to a bunch of noble ladies. (Chapter Payment and Unveiling the Dress.)
