 A Niconico special livestream for the Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen (Ascendance of a Bookworm) television anime announced a third season on Sunday.  SynopsisUrano Motosu loves books and has an endless desire to read literature, no matter the subject. She almost fulfills her dream of becoming a librarian before her life is ended in an accident. As she draws her last breath, she wishes to be able to read more books in her next life. As if fate was listening to her prayer, she wakes up reincarnated as Myne—a frail five-year-old girl living in a medieval era. What immediately comes to her mind is her passion. She tries to find something to read, only to become frustrated by the lack of books at her disposal. Without the printing press, books have to be written and copied by hand, making them very expensive; as such, only a few nobles can afford them—but this won't stop Myne. She will prove that her will to read is unbreakable, and if there are no books around, she will make them herself! [Written by MAL Rewrite] Honzuki no Gekokujou adapts Miya Kazuki's fantasy slice of life light novel series, which she penned on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website from September 2013 to March 2017. TO Books began publishing the novel featuring illustrations by You Shiina (Sakurada Reset) in January 2015. The 23rd volume shipped on June 10, with the 24th volume scheduled for release on September 10. Honzuki no Gekokujou has a cumulative 3.5 million copies of its volumes in circulation. Suzuka serialized a manga adaptation of the light novel's first part on the Comic Corona web magazine from October 2015 to July 2018. The second part began in the same magazine in September that year and has three volumes in print as of April 1. Ryou Namino launched the third part ahead of the second in April 2018. TO Books published the third volume on June 15. The television anime produced by Ajia-Do aired in split cours in Fall 2019 and Spring 2020. A side story original video anime was bundled with the 22nd volume on March 10. Crunchyroll simulcast the show with subtitles and subsequently began streaming an English dub. J-Novel Club licensed both the manga adaptation and light novel in English in November 2018 and March 2019 and released the fourth manga volume and seventh light novel volume digitally on May 13 and June 23, respectively. The fifth light novel volume was published in print on June 2. Source: animate Times Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen 3rd Season on MAL |

| Wow this was kind of unexpected. Don’t know if I’ll watch but good to know. |
 |
| Season 2 was a letdown, hopefully it improves in the third season. |

| Didn’t expect this at all, and thus only making the announcement all the more pleasing and gratifying to see! Looking forward to seeing more of Myne’s adventures! |

| This was fast. Let's hope it'll be as good as the previous seasons. |
 |
| Definitely was not expecting this, at least not this soon, it maybe a sickish year in general but it ain't a disappointment when it comes to sequel announcements |
| That is actually surprising but very welcome! |
| I actually thought it would announce the 3rd season right after the last episode of the 2nd, so announcing it a bit later was fun news to hear! |
 |
| From the title and cheerful key art you'd never imagine that the protagonist would end up.. Or that the head priest.. |
| Not the biggest surprise as I was expecting an announcement after the S2 Finale 2 weeks ago! Great to see more of Myne! Will look out to see when a release date gets announced!! |
 |
| Cannot wait for Season 3, this anime is quite the gem. I did not expect a 3rd season to be announced this quick though so that was quite the surprise. |

| Hell yes, I hoped for a coverage of the full first 2 arcs and with that one we'll at least reach that so that's cool. Seeing arc 3 being adapted would be cool but that would require at least 26-30 episodes on top of the 12 of a third season (so 3 more cours at bare minimum) so I don't think we'll ever get that. ...Then again I didn't think we'll ever get to 3 seasons either so that's that. cchigu said: Season 2 was a letdown, hopefully it improves in the third season. season was only the first half of a story arc so obviously the climax of the arc was not here contrary to the first season, that may be why some peoples may have been left unsatisfied. It's probably better to think at season 2 and 3 as one story block, just like season 1 was a story block. |
 |
| OMEGALUL OMEGALUL OMEGALUL ngl I forgot the anime existed after the first season which was meh at best. I didnt even know it'd get a 3rd season but I guess it did huh. |
| YEEESS!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING! XD |
  |
| I'm very excited! It really felt like season two was just set up for something bigger, and I hope it pays off. |
| I also wasn't expected a season 3 so soon but I'm glad we are getting more Bookworm. |
 |
| Nice! If this comes out early next year it's going to be a very stacked season of comfy for me. (Non Non Biyori S3, Yuru Camp S2, and now this.) |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| I like how this $10 budget isekai happens to be more succesful and loved than most anime in each season. I´ll wait patiently, but interested for this deserved 3rd season. |
| :v |
| Let's GO! I am so excited. |
| I wasn't expecting this but I'm excited. |
 |
| Yay more honzuki are always welcomed! |
 |
| Totally unexpected news but a great one. Btw I heard the web novel is over and Light Novel is close to end. Is third season gonna cover entire thing then? |

MegamiRem said: Totally unexpected news but a great one. Btw I heard the web novel is over and Light Novel is close to end. Is third season gonna cover entire thing then? Considering that season 2 adapted 2 volumes in 12 episodes, it means that to finish this story anime side in one season you would need around 168 episodes in season 3 as the anime is currendly around 28 volumes away from the end (season 2 covered volume 4 and 5). |
|
| Do producers really don't have any ideas anymore so that any hyped show instantly gets a sequel? I am only for, but a couple of years ago it seemed like a dream. What changed? |
 |
| @Supercuecaaa @Zefyris Lmao so there's a lot of materials left. Oh well still a new season is always welcomed. |
|
| A new season is always welcomed x2. |
 |
| It's a fun anime to watch, I liked it a lot ... Happy that it will have the third season already. |
| Apaixonado por jogos e animes. |
| More Bookworm is always a good thing Let's hope this 3rd season will have more budget though |
| Perfect news, I really loved the second season even more than the first : looking forward to discover more about this vast universe |

Animebrudi said: How can this get a third season and grand blue still got no second season? We are living in the worst time line guys >.< this isn't the same publisher, not the same kind of story, nor the same anime studio, what are you talking about? |
|
| Great news, iyashikei anime deserve more love |
 |
| I am really excited for this one! Cannot wait! |

daedalron said: Didn't even expect this to get a third season lol so yeah I highly doubt we'll get to the end of novels too in anime haha.MegamiRem said: @Supercuecaaa @Zefyris Lmao so there's a lot of materials left. Oh well still a new season is always welcomed. Season 1 adapted the first arc of the novels Season 2 adapted only the first half of the second arc. Season 3 will most likely adapt the second half of the second arc. The complete story is 5 arcs long, and each arc is longer than the previous one, sometimes by a lot (4th arc is twice the 3rd one, for example). So yeah, there is A LOT of materials left, and I seriously doubt we'll ever get to a 13th or 14th season that would be necessary to complete the whole story... Though I really hope they won't end this after that 3rd season (novel readers should understand what I mean...) |

| Awesome I'm looking forward to it! |
 |
| Did they intentionally put as many dates as possible into the article? How am I supposed to cross-read that?? All i'm intressted in is the release date for s3, goddamit! |
| Looking forward to the new season, maybe I should just read the LN |
| WAIT, how the hell did I miss this? Granted, it's the above-average Isekai, so waiting upon it is a good thing. |
