Ascendance of a Bookworm
Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen / Ascendance of a Bookworm: I'll do anything to become a librarian / 爱书的下克上：为了成为图书管理员不择手段！ / หนอนหนังสือยึดอำนาจSummary
Anime adaptation of Part 1 of Honzuki no Gekokujou.
When a sickly young girl suddenly becomes obsessed with inventing new things, her family and friends are all puzzled. "What has gotten into Myne?" they wondered, never dreaming that the answer is not a "What" but a "Who": Urano Motosu, a book-loving apprentice librarian who died in an earthquake in Tokyo who somehow found herself in Myne's body! And since Myne's world is still in a medieval stage, where books can only be owned by the elite, the new Myne intends to do everything she can to bring her beloved books to the masses in the time she has left.
