Ascendance of a Bookworm: Hannelore’s Fifth Year at the Royal Academy Volume 2

Hannelore awakens from her goddess-induced coma to find the entire country in a frenzy! Duchy after duchy vies for her hand, each hoping to best Dunkelfelger at bride-stealing ditter and claim the second divine avatar for themselves. Meanwhile, the schemes of a certain former prince—and even the involvement of the Zent—threaten to stir things up even further.

With an ever-growing list of suitors, including the archduke candidate Ortwin, Hannelore’s fifth year promises to be anything but ordinary. Will she stay in Dunkelfelger, or marry into another duchy? What future awaits the erstwhile Lady Crybaby, who blushes at every playful advance? Find out in the second volume of this love-battle fantasy, featuring two original short stories and four-panel manga by You Shiina!
