Ascendance of a Bookworm: New season details!

07 Jul, 2025 by W~W

Anime key visual for 'Ascendance of a Bookworm,' featuring a young girl with long, vibrant blue hair,  dressed in a pale yellow and white collared outfit with intricate lace detailing at the cuffs and hem.  She has large, expressive golden eyes and an open mouth, appearing awestruck or in wonder.  Bright, swirling yellow and gold magical energy emanates from her hands, creating a dynamic visual effect.  In the background, a grand, slightly blurred, staircase leads up to what appears to be an opulent, possibly regal, interior space with three figures in long robes and  a fourth figure holding a circular object, all seemingly observing the girl. The overall style is reminiscent of anime and fantasy art. Japanese text overlays the image, including the title '本好きの下剋上' (Honzuki no Gekokujou), which translates to 'Ascendance of a Bookworm,' and a subtitle '司書になるためには手段を選んでいられません' which translates to 'I won't choose my methods to become a librarian'.
