| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah, we're getting more useful use for magic in this show. Not bad Myne. I'm not surprised that she has a hard time coming out with the truth to her parents. She's still a kid and going through a lot after all. I do like her courage though for getting to where she is now. Quite an emotional episode :( |
 |
| So Freida will be a concubine. That's sad. The ending was emotional. Almost cried. :( |
 |
| I can't believe, you've done this to me. My fuckin' feels. |
| Really great episode, full of emotions |
| This anime has started off as a really chill and fun one, but it's slowly turning into a rather sad one. I didn't expect this at all The father at the end crying by himself...that hit me, that was so sad |

| The part with Frida was really cute but damn that last scene was so sad, I feel so bad for this family |
 |
| This is such a tough episode. Her girl time with Freida was adorable and highly needed to handle the rest! Was not expecting that future for Freida. Takes so much bravery and desperation to follow that path. Literally placing her life on their hands sounds terrifying. With the possibility of the noble to tire of her and no longer supply magical items. Am hopeful a magically binding contract is made so they're forced to abide by it for the rest of her life. It's warming to see Myne's love for her family grow. I cried along when she spoke about the Devouring with them. Am hopeful she'll enter the world of books & conjure her own way to suppress or surpass her illness! |
| goddamn nobles man of course they'd be hoarding these magical items |

-Aincrad- said: The father at the crying by himself...that hit me, that was so sad I know right? :'c Almost cried when turi and the mother cried but when we saw the father alone at the end i broke. |
 |
| Simply put, that was a beautiful episode. The series really starts slow and it was hard for me to make it through the first few episodes, but once it gets going, you get sucked into it. It really has some of the best worldbuilding I've ever seen and gives me vibes I haven't had since Log Horizon. The story is so grounded and well written. Even though it's magical isekai, everything feels so grounded and realistic. I'll def have to change my MAL score and review for it. With the announcement of season 2, I'm looking forward to it. I really got emotional this episode, seeing the family breakdown like that was extremely hard to watch. Episodes like this always remind me of losing my dad. |
 |
| I think the manga did a better job at adapting the family meeting, but they did a good job showing how close Myne and her family have become. |
 |
| This anime is getting a 2nd season btw. Ascendance of a Bookworm 2 If anyone has seen the promo pic for the upcoming season, it kinda suggests how Mayne moves forward. This episode and that promo pic makes sense. |

| Another great episode. I wonder when that one guy from the first episode will show up. I'm sure he's the noble she will be contracted with and he'll be more reasonable that most...hopefully. 7 year old concubines...damn. |
 |
| Nice pace... Main feels that she ought to tell her family what lies beneath illness that last her only a year more. Perhaps the final episode would be meeting between Main and the blue-haired noble as the poster tells. |
| That last moment when her father was sitting in front of the fireplace hit me really hard. The visual direction of that scene was outstanding. |
| The very last scene worries me. |
| bruh |
| I still feel like the dad will send Main rather than see her die. Any right family would want to see their member live longer even if they'll be apart from each other. This series has taken quite a turn, and I'm not complaining. |

| I can feel water in my eyes. This was a really sad episode. Before anything started, Frieda said that she's going to be a concubine after she comes of age. She says it like it's a normal thing. To live, she has to become someone's mistress, possibly for the rest of her life. And I don't know whether the Guild Master did it to make sure she lives a more comfortable life and LIVES, or if he did it because it was an investment like Frieda said. The moments with her family were the saddest. Didn't expect this anime to bring me to tears when I first started and dropped it then subsequently picked it up again. So Myne has decided to live and eventually die with her family rather than live a long life away from them. I might've chosen the same thing too. Turi crying and hugging because she's still a kid. Her mother wanting to cry but holding back her tears as best she can. But her dad putting up a strong front because he's the head of the family and a parent and needs to be strong and supportive. That last scene really hit me when he was drinking and probably crying alone. Damn, one of the best anime this season. |
 |
| With Myne in this condition, it is for uncertain where the Devouring will take her, but in all their effort, Benno, Lutz, even Frieda managed to keep her safe, but the magical items won't keep her from that state however for long. A lifetime contract for the Devoured, of being limited to a noble, is what Frieda has to accept, being a concubine in exchange for a stretched life investment to magical items. Surely Myne doesn't want that kind of life... To make her limited year-long recuperation (before it strikes again) purposeful, Myne spending her time with Frieda before her baptism. Even with her family, this felt like her 2nd home. Onward to the second winter, and the harsh truth could not be harder to swallow to tell her family. But it's better to perish in the family than at some strangers focal point. It's just sad that her time is quite short, and the family has to suffer at the loss of Myne. Oh the feels. With the confirmation of the Season 2 announcement, all can be said that she's well, but it's the 3 episodes remaining to tell of her recovery story. |
 |
| Definitely got watery-eyed there! Got to feel for the father in particular. No wonder why she wouldn't want to spill this out. Just having a year to live sounds horrid, yikes. I have a feeling she'd fall ill again with a lose of heart, what a tough position it must be. Frida and the Guild Leader's attempt to snub Maine was hilarious though. Of course, Benno wasn't going to put that aside xD. Frida's been a really nice company over the last couple of episodes or so. It's sad she'll soon be away from her family though. She sure is a tough girl. 3 more episodes to go, I wonder how this'll come to an end. |

Windman said: Ok food for thought but since the Devouring can only be postponed by magical items that basically absorb the excess "mana" out of the body, couldnt it be cured by just simply training to learn magic or at the very least coming into contact with Tronbe as a replacement for that bracelet? That's the thing, nobles horde magic and wont teach it to non nobles or each time a kid is born with the devouring they would become a noble making the whole caste not as impresive thus removing power from them. As for tronbe, they don't know and it's only been hinted that it absorbs mana. Paladin23 said: I hope Myne can get rich enough save herself and buy Fredia out of her concubinage Same here, like I tell my mom just the printing press or gun powder would make her richer than most nobles. |

Not exactly, Baptism happens at 7 yes but the coming of age ceremony is at 15. |
| the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it. |
| The episode was already sad halfway through but then the confession to her family *sobbing intesifies* judging by the end I would guess that this time her father will come up with a third option. |
 |
| I cried so hard T_T especially when she said that she only have 1 year left. :( Also, I noticed that rank of this series went up! O_O I didn't expected it! It used to be #2300+, now it's #1937 :) <3 I'm so happy more people are liking this anime, same with me :) |
| A relly emotional episode, that last part hit me hard. |

Like when episode 10 aired, the score was 7.33. 1 week later, yesterday it was already 7.42. And today it's 7.44! I really hope it will get close to 8, or even reach it |

Leo said: So Freida will be a concubine. That's sad. this wasn't uncommon in "her times" probable she would the same even if she didn't had Devouring but at least she would do this on her terms, now I hope that at least "her man" is not some stereotypical old ugly bastard. |

Maybe even the Devouring is something common and not dangerous in nobles kids (something like chickenpox in our time/world). |

Maybe even the Devouring is something common and not dangerous in nobles kids (something like chickenpox in our time/world). I thought the devouring was just the condition of having mana. So basically all the nobles have devouring too. Because you always need a magical tool to perform magic which gets rid of your mana, all the commoners with mana die before their baptism and therefore having mana is treated as an illness for them. This is why there are no commoners capable of using magic. Nobles have magical tools they can use to perform magic that uses up their mana, so devouring is not a problem for them and therefore not considered to be an illness. Rather, it's the normal to them (since magic is mostly hereditary). Or perhaps only particularly strong magic users have the devouring? However, in that case it's a little curious why there aren't commoners with mana that don't have the devouring. Or perhaps they just don't know they have mana since you need magic tools to use magic? |
| That last scene with them hugging in bed but dad alone feeling powerless got me really good, so glad this show managed to get a second season. |
| Let's not forget that Mayne is an adult who took over a child's body who died so she's pretty much very mature mentally and emotionally. With that said; She was really impressed with Frieda's decision and resolve moving forward. A mere child would simply break down and give up when faced with such a choice. |

Just letting everyone know that this is the real score of this episode Someone with those sh*tty fake account down voted it again, same as last weeks episode That was at 90% too How pathetic can a human being get? Whoever keeps doing this, to several airing anime actually, get a life you sad loser. |

| Is it really going to have 14 episodes? Or they'll simply release 1 or 2 episodes out of that count as an OVA. If it's really 14 episodes, it means the last ep is going to air on Jan 1/2 (depending on your time zone) which is a little unbelievable because Japan is big on celebrating New Year's... |
