Synopsis For as long as she could read, Eliana Bernstein—more commonly known as the "Bibliophile Princess"—has preferred the company of books to that of people. However, as a noble, it is her duty to find a suitor. Fortunately for her, Crown Prince Christopher Selkirk Asherald proposes a deal: He will protect her free time, and, in exchange, Eliana will be his fiancée in name only. The years they spend together are bliss, as Eliana learns to open herself to others. But all good things must come to an end. For Eliana, who loves books more than people, ending their fake relationship should be no big deal. But as Christopher grows close with another girl, Eliana begins to realize that she isn't as indifferent to him as she once thought.

| Looks like reverse harem. Meh... |
 |
| Madhouse again, made me have mixed feeling for this one.. |
| Happy to see this adapted!! |
| Meh that madhouse is making a reverse harem anime. |
 |
| Ye I'm gonna skip this one. |
 |
| Like if madhouse was a guarantee of literally anything. |
 |
| This one could be the first Shousetsuka ni Narou anime adaptation that I will skip, but who knows. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Oh, wow, the art is simply beautiful!!! This is just my type of anime, will definitely watch this and it's done by madhouse too, so that's good! Hopefully they do the art and character designs the proper justice! :D |

| Not a bad premise, and the associated art's pretty good. Sure, I can give it a try. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| Why are Japanese people so fond of talking about people who love books and ignore people? |

| A reverse harem LN by Madhouse....I gotta say that they've been trying their hand at a lot of unique stuff lately lol Gonna look into the source material to see what people say before I decide whether or not I'll actually watch this |
| I like Reverse Harem hope this one turn out to be good. Although I am a bit surprised seeing MADHOUSE as the main studio behind this project. |
| What a shame that a studio like Madhouse is producing reverse harem anime lmaooo |
| Hmmm |
| Nice a Romance Anime by Madhouse 😍 |

Well, I'm aware of the reasons for the popularity of the "I'm loner, so I love books" trope, but the Japanese just love it so much. |
|
| While I welcome more shoujo anime, I've read a bit of the manga and it got boring pretty fast. |
 |
| Seems like they're testing a lot of things out, even reverse harem now. |
 |
| Just wanting to chime in and inform people that this isn't the first reverse harem Madhouse has done, in 2006-2007 they unfortunately adapted this shit Also, just so we are clear, i'm not saying all reverse harem is shit as i actually like them, as can be seen from my post above lol. Just this one in particular i disliked. |

| Villainess wave really is coming huh |
| Oh, I've heard of this light novel, actually! It always seemed interesting but I never actually read it or the manga. Will keep an eye out for the anime! |
 |
| Seeing people freak out about a Reverse harem is hilarious when we have a few harems every season and no one bats an eyelid. The hypocrisy. The best part is- this isn't really a RH at all. This isn't a villainess show either. Anyhow, I'll be watching this and the shitshow people try to create. |
| A girl that is forced to choose between her love for books or the fake relationship with her fiancee. This could be interesting, so I might check this one out. |

It’s just that reverse harem are more boring imo, though I didn’t mind Kamisama Hajimemashita. If this isn’t a reverse harem I’ll probably check it out. |

| How rare. A reverse harem shoujo getting an anime in this day and age. And of them all madhouse is doing it |
| Now this is quite the look. Drop the teaser soon... |

NergalMHL said: C'mon madhouse, Where's my Chihayafuru 4? They've been doing pretty eh stuff like Kyuushi, Hakozume and now this. Hm. I haven't finished the S3 yet. I thought they just rushed the remaining parts to cover everything in one season. So it was not the case? |
