Where to start with Ascendance of a Bookworm

Watch it in order. The only thing worth knowing up front is how slow it is on purpose.

  1. 1
    Seasons one and two Ascendance of a Bookworm

    Fourteen and then twelve episodes. These cover book parts one and two, so a season is not a part.

  2. 2
    Season three Ascendance of a Bookworm

    Only ten episodes, from 2022. Shorter than the ones before it.

  3. 3
    Season four Ascendance of a Bookworm

    From 2026 and much longer, made by Wit Studio rather than Ajia-do. Different look, same story.

  4. 4
    The light novel Ascendance of a Bookworm

    Thirty three volumes and finished. Go here for the ending, which the anime is a long way from.

Then what? The two OVAs from 2020 are side stories. Hannelore's Fifth Year is a three volume sequel and belongs after the main novels, not before.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
