Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 3

The second cour of Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 3 is airing, with its ending theme announced and the series settling into a structured format after a one-week delay.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated May 30

The second cour of Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 3, subtitled Adopted Daughter of an Archduke, premiered on April 4 and is currently airing. The series is produced by Wit Studio, and its animation has become less physically expressive as the story progresses. Episode 5, which aired after a one-week delay, focused on two main threads: the introduction of a craftsman named Zack, who spurs competition in wax stencil printing, and the ongoing preparations for Ferdinand's concert, where Rosemyne's influence inadvertently creates religious music and promotional materials.

The ending theme for the second cour has been announced. Singer adieu, also known as actress Moka Kamishiraishi, performs the song titled "Wanna me." Satoko Shibata wrote both the lyrics and music for the track. The CD single is scheduled for release on July 29, with a limited first pressing that bundles a Blu-ray of adieu's 2025 concert.
