Synopsis

For generations, the Bernstein family has been recognized as a house of nobles who favor books over everything else. Elianna Bernstein, daughter of a baron of the Sauslind Kingdom, is no different. But instead of being called a bookworm, she is known as the Bibliophile Princess.

Four years ago, the crown prince, Christopher Selkirk Asherald, offered Elianna a special arrangement: if she would become his fiancée, he promised that she could continue to spend all her free time reading. Despite having to inherit a title of great responsibility, she agreed to the proposal, enticed by the prospect of gaining access to the royal archives housing a wide selection of books.

To this day, Elianna firmly believes that her engagement is void of romantic sentiment. When she notices Christopher's interactions with another girl, she presumes that the days she spends with him will soon reach an end. Yet, during this period of uncertainty, Elianna and Christopher open a new chapter in their relationship, gradually uncovering their genuine feelings as they grow to better understand each other.

i won't say that this is excellent but it was good !!as the story is nice kind of felt slow paced (maybe because i am used to fast paced) !the art is decent enough !!the plot itself is okay as there were many instances when it felt like someone was bullying the female lead!! it was kind of sad to watch but the end result or should i say the character development was satisfying !! the side characters were also nice as they get got less screentime as the side characters should get !! so as for me it's -6.6 stars / 10 stars !! ...

Mixed Feelings
This anime went downhill pretty quickly. I enjoyed the first 3-5 episodes and the rest was skipped because its just full of yapping and repetitive plotlines. She is supposed to be brainy but honestly nothing shows as such. Some people will enjoy it but it was frustrating to watch for me.

The story is quite predictable in a sense where one event happens and you can guess what the result / solution would be. Nothing smart seems to have happened.

There were some nice romance moments but it definitely is not enough to balance out the yappiness of things that does not add depth to the story.

This story is a slow one with some dry humor sparingly used as a nice accent. Overall it’s an okay series and consistent pace. The animation is pretty much nothing special, but is still pretty art and color choices. Voices, music, and sfx are similar pleasant. The cast isn’t anything special but they work well with a solid world setting.

Now, the biggest hurdle this series can never overcome is nuance. There is next-to-no depth given to any scene and, unless you’re already overly familiar and nearly exhausted from this type of genre and its usual tropes, you’ll be left confused. Because everything that’s needed ...
