Ascendance of a Bookworm: I'll Do Anything to Become a Librarian!
AnimeFantasy2019Rated 7.7
A young Japanese woman who lived for books dies and wakes as Myne, a sickly little girl in a world where books cost a fortune, so she sets out to make her own.
Next episode
Nothing scheduled
Is it for me?
Cozy-minded readers who would rather see someone work out how to make a thing than watch a fight will settle in. The look is bright picture-book lines with a static camera, and Myne's inner monologues melt into chibi cartoons whenever her excitement runs away with her. Each small step toward a finished book gets treated like a victory, and that keeps people coming back.
Before you start
The first episodes are slow while she learns basic crafts, and the pace stays dialogue-driven; give it time before judging.
