Ascendance of a Bookworm: What’s New in the Fantasy World?
Urano Motosu, a university student, is faced with this issue as her life of continually reading books is over, after being crushed by the books she adores. Urano merely hopes she could keep on reading as she considers what she’d really want to do in her next life if she had the option.
Sadly, she awakens in the body of a frail little girl named Myne, in a realm wherein books are scarce and those that do remain were only ever accessed by aristocrats. Myne determines that the best way of making the most out of her new life is to write the books by herself. This is the beginning of a quest to grasp the world’s language and locate acceptable stuff to create books on.
However, Myne realizes that she seems to have a disease known as “Devouring,” which means she has a lot of “mana,” or magic, but no way to manage it, and it’s about to kill her.
Myne’s desire to write books, combined with her problems with overpowered mana, lead her to become a priestess apprentice, which also gives her access to a massive library.
Season 2 of “Ascendence of a Bookworm” focuses on Myne’s mana, the Devouring, and her existence at the temple, whereas Season 1 focused on her resolute quest to create her own books to read. Myne comes upon an orphanage while working at the temple and chooses to help in any way she can, including writing books and crafting accessories.
Myne has now become the next orphanage director by merging the institution into herself after the temple fires the priestess who oversees the orphanage, thereby starving the children.
Myne initially utilizes her magic publicly at the end of season 2, demonstrating her strength in front of a group of knights by performing a healing ceremony. Myne’s influence in the kingdom and among the nobles is set to rise in Season 3, as Ferdinand increasingly involves her in the temple’s social and political aspects.
Despite Myne’s best efforts, it’s probable that doing so will consume more of her life, separating her from her family and friends. For those waiting for episode 7, the plot will pick up where it left off in the previous episodes, with Myne’s struggles to control her Mana.
Ascendance of a Bookworm: What Characters Will Be Seen Again in the New Season?
In the forthcoming episodes of Season 3, fans will see all of the expected characters. Along with Yuka Iguchi who is playing Myne, there’s Ferdinand voiced by Show Hayami, the High Priest of Ehrenfest, who already learns about Myne’s past existence and views her as very essential to the realm.
Myne’s family, includes her father Gunther who is voiced by Tsuyoshi Koyama, mother Effa played by Fumiko Orikasa, and her sister Tuuli, who is very close to her, is played by Megumi Nakajima.
