About Ascendance of a Bookworm

Ascendance of a Bookworm follows book-lover Myne reborn in a world without printing, scheming toward her own library from commoner crafts to noble adoption. Season 1 ran fourteen episodes in 2019 at Ajia-do, with a two-part OVA of side stories in 2020.

Season 2 ran twelve episodes in 2020 and season 3 ran ten in 2022 through the temple and academy arcs. Season 4, subtitled Adopted Daughter of an Archduke, ran twenty-four episodes across two cours in 2026 at Wit Studio. The story runs in one line, so release order is the way through.

Good to know

Release order is story order from Myne's first paper attempts to archduke adoption. The two-part OVA sits between seasons 1 and 2 as optional side stories. Season 4 aired April to September 2026 with twenty-four episodes. No anime beyond season 4 is announced yet. Start with season 1, since the printing economics and noble ranks stack every arc.
