      I don't know about shipping but 「https://tobooks.shop-pro.jp/?mode=cate&cbid=2547419&csid=0&sort=n」 is the link to anime merch on the TO BOOKS site.

        Well the anime skipped the paper failures, Myne's letter of gratitude, the pink rose paper, and Myne's origami crane that she gifted to Benno, but we knew they would be skipping some stuff in order for it to be a complete Part 1 adaptation. I particularly felt the "Lutz's Myne" chapter was handled very well this latest episode.

          I took a look at the ordering page and they can only handle domestic delivery.

            Due to the paper delivery meeting at the very end of the episode, the next episode will pick right back up at the meeting. There they can do the letter, pretty paper, and origami .... and the her most important reveal - no spoilers, to kick off the next set of stories.

              @hiroto You could be able to use a reshipper, quite a few reasonably priced ones over there.

                Oh, in case anyone didn’t hear the announcement, Crunchyroll will be dubbing this show in English in the near future. So hopefully that gives it a better chance of being released on bluray in the west.

                    @paul-nebeling The trick is to expect that they will, that way they can't disappoint you too much.

                      @paul-nebeling Crunchyroll usually records at Bang Zoom, which is one of the best studios, imo. I think it’s in good hands. Of course names will probably be pronounced differently, like “Tuuri.”

                        Forgot to mention that around the time anime came out, TO Books made this free Bookworm Magazine as promotional material including anime information, sample chapter from manga and LN, bunch of promotional information and gave out for free at book stores. It became available in Kindle store too and you can download free outside of Japan too.

                        You may not be able to read it, but hey, its free.

                            maybe a translation (minus the sample chapters- which would be redundant) as premium content (premium edition of LN/ebook added content) would be cool?

                            I read banned books

                              It appears there is some sort of... collaboration? Between Bookworm and Orphen anime? Don't know how that would work, or what would come out of this.

                                @legitpancake It's apparently a commercial. Crunchyroll has a short writeup on it.

                                  Thanks for the tip.

                                  I'm in the UK it says it is not available. I have to use https://www.amazon.co.uk/本好きの下剋上MAGAZINE-Japanese-香月美夜-ebook/dp/B07YZ6GSVK for it to work.

                                  Stay shiny, y'all.

                                    @shiny Odd, it was available for me in Spain. I can't remember if I have my location faked in Amazon.com, though.

                                      It is locally available too.

                                      TO Books is a rare Japanese publisher who distribute their e-books worldwide.

                                      I didn't know people here are so distributed.

                                        Collaboration in Manga is pretty common. Two manga artists gets together and write a piece mixing characters from two totally different manga, but I don't know if it has been done for anime before. I couldn't find one with a quick search.

                                        For manga, usually it is just an one off thing, so I assume they'll come up with the single episode merging two stories and characters.

                                          @hiroto Anime collabs are also common enough. Off the top of my head I can't really think of any recent ones, but one that does come to mind is an official uniform swap picture between Kiniro Mosaic and Yuyushiki with the anime designs.

                                            Well, looks like episode 10 of the anime ended at the exact same point as volume 2 of the light novel. Which would be expected since if the producers ignored that cliffhanger potential, they would have been criminally negligent. In any case, a very enjoyable episode.

                                            Morning and Mourning sound alike for good and sufficient reasons.
