Excellent anime come in many forms. from the variety of action adventure shonen, to exhilarating sports series, to suspenseful love drama, anime has many styles and they all entertain. however, some of the best anime are based on just one interesting concept. Built on top of a “what-if” if you will. Ascendance of a bookworm is a fun title based on the ideas “What if a bookworm got reincarnated in a world with no books?” I apologize for not having a trigger warning for my book fans, as i have described literal hell. For the protagonist, A girl named Urano reincarnated into the body of a little girl named Main. This is pretty much hell.
The story is based on a young girl named Urano, In her regular world she loves books and everything about books. One day she wakes up and realizes she has been reincarnated into a little girl name Main. She also finds that she is now in a new world different from her own.This new world apparently has literacy and books are very rare. Frustrated that she doesn’t have any books available to her, Urano decides to create her own books.
The concept of this shows piques my interest immediately for several reasons. first, the world Urano is in now has a completely different writing system from her own. This means she will have to learn how to read and write from the very basics. This is actually fitting because the body of Mine, the girl Urano is inhabiting, seems to be a young girl, around four or five. The concept of her learning how to read and write matches her age. secondly, with Urano’s love of books, she has wide knowledge of paper making and other book making techniques. This is fascinating because of the potential impact it can have on the story and the world setting itself. combined with the fact that its just kind of freaking cool to learn how to make papyrus and other ancient writing tools is just kind dope to me.
Urano having knowledge from her previous world have already impacted her new world. Urano essentially invented shampoo in her new world using previous knowledge from her old one. This is the concept i find most fascinating about the series. Im really looking forward to how Urano will impact the world more with her knowledge, especially of technologies. the potential outcomes are interesting and can be fun to watch develop.
I find it impressive that with the cute character designs and dialogue that the story has woven in a serious plot point to keep viewers engaged. The story has hinted several times at Main sickly and frail body. Apparently Main has had poor health for most of her life and is A real concern for her family. There have been multiple instances where this fact has been referenced so its definitely a point that will impact the story.
i expect this title to be a fascinating, adorable, heartwarming story. The characters already seem very lovable. Urano’s new family seem very loving, her father especially very doting. I expect to laugh, to think, to cry and generally be entertained. i find sweet stories with interesting premises pleasing. They don’t all have to be cyborgs with giant gun heads i guess.
