Ascendance of a Bookworm: Part 4 Volume 9

Proven appeal of subject: Over 50,000 copies of the original novel series have been sold in print and even larger numbers in digital. Japanese turnout is strong, with THREE manga adaptations being released simultaneously and the third anime series airing in Spring 2022. Genre staying power: Combining fantasy elements with cute slice-of-life antics, Ascendance of a Bookworm is a story by a book-lover for book-lovers. The serialised storytelling also encourages returning for the next volume!  Artwork: Multiple full-page illustrations (Including a double-sided full-color two-page spread and approx. 10 black-and-white per volume) add extra value and provide crossover appeal with the manga buying audience.
