who is going to supply frida with magic tools to get her devouring under control, you may ask. i do consider the fact that rozemyne might not take any action towards this, as she is aware of the shortage of human resources in ehrenfest, but i imagine she will want to get the merchants up to speed asap to get her library city, and ferdinand won't be able to stop her, because it would certainly makes things easier in easing relationships between merchants and nobles in alexandria (and because he is whipped). both things could be achieved by frida moving to alexandria, which would even include the perks of being given preferential treatment by the aub and having many merchants from all over the country wanting to connect with her as a store that frequently does business with rozemyne.
but their goals were to create a connection with nobles and to open up her own store to win lots of money, respectively.
what if rozemyne nullified the contract to have frida move to alexandria and educate/mobilize the alexandrian merchants? frida's family did spend a lot of money in her lifestyle and education, and frida herself has worked hard, with the idea of moving to the nobles' quarter since young. do you think she moved to the nobles' quarter as it had been agreed? there was no indication she wasn't going to, but i do wonder. hold on, what happened with friday? ? by the end of the main series, rozemyne has already turned 15, so frida has too. ascendance of a bookworm honzuki no gekokujou bookworm ask
ASCENDENCE OF A BOOKWORM SERIES
So getting 3 seasons was not too bad a showing, but I can’t help but lament that the best part of the series was just getting started. Wish a series like this was more popular and had more money behind it, given how many anime get made now, many seem more like advertisement for the manga / light novels, as they only get 1 (maybe 2) seasons, but story continues on in print… with the market so flooded each season there is just too many series for niche properties to stand out and gain enough of a new audience and keep them. Part 3 and 4 have been so good so far, I wish the entire series would get an adaptation, but that is not the anime market, honestly never has been, especially for series like this.
That was my take away at least, been a while since the initial impact, but honestly I was just hoping we would get another season, but that ending kinda said otherwise, as much as I would like to wish otherwise (I mean they spent time setting up some of the villains that would be more relevant much later in the story, so I was hoping). The entire season seemed rushed, they got all the main points in, but I wish they could have fleshed it out more… animation was lacking in many areas. I noticed and lamented a bit, but it was also clear that they were wrapping the series up and I’m sure they didn’t want to leave it on a such a depressing note, at least not even more depressing than it already was… maybe if they had another season they might have added more, but to keep it hopeful made sense given the anime ending… they wanted to focus on the more positive and maybe perhaps encourage those who liked the anime to pick up the manga / light novels and not turned off by a depressing separation… assuring them that her family and Myne are fine moving forward and still connected, even if it is hard. I’m mostly just sad that the scene that absolutely demolished me for literal weeks and made me go into actual mourning only made it for a single Canon-defying shot so it couldn’t absolutely destroy my friends who only watched the anime. Pt 2 Obviously season 3 is season 3, and I’m not really complaining that it’s not what I want.
