Ascendance of a Bookworm: Short Story Collection Volume 1

Six years have passed since Urano began her new life as Myne, and so much has happened. She went from being a simple commoner to an apprentice shrine maiden, then she was thrown into the world of nobles as Rozemyne, the adopted daughter of an archduke!



“But I’m not the only person with a lot going on! You can say the same for everyone else! Though, uh... I guess that’s mainly because of me.”



This first volume of Bookworm’s new Short Story Collection is packed with previously unpublished chapters spanning Parts 1 to 4. Experience the lower city, the orphanage, the temple, the Royal Academy, and many other familiar locations through new eyes in twenty-one stories told from a plethora of unique perspectives. What do those in Myne’s (or Rozemyne’s) circle think about her actions, and what happens in the places she can’t see?



Includes behind-the-scenes notes from author Miya Kazuki and more four-panel manga by You Shiina.
