Direct link to the official manga: https://j-novel.club/s/ascendance-of-a-bookworm-manga/ Volume 3 goes on sale on 2020-03-25. I do recommend buying volumes 3 through 7 of the manga when they release them because those volumes have newly written text-based side-stories by the author that none of...

@mahtan Given how you seem to have disliked this manga, you are almost certainly are not going to like Part 2 either. Do yourself and other commentators a favour and not bother with Part 2.

@neorasp By a good fan-translator? Probably never. The series is licensed and the official translation is already ahead of the raws for the manga and where the last good translations dropped it (WN103). For subscribers they release 3 chapters a week.

@SirWilliam https://mangadex.org/thread/171423/1/#post_1099369 TOOR Scans will be doing the Part 2 manga once they finish the Part 1 manga. They still have 3 more things that need to release for the Part 1 manga: chapter 33, chapter 33.5 (basically an epilogue chapter), and the volume 7 extra...

@RonBWL I was just talking about the manga translations, and by "No group" I meant the people who didn’t upload under a group name here. The official translator (that only had the manga license announced at the time) wasn’t really confused about whether to use the manga or web-novel TL, they...

@burmn123 No group used "Maine", Easy Going Scans used "Maïn", the official English manga releases use "Myne", and TOOR Scans use "Myne". Out of these "Maine" would be the first one to be used. However, Crunchyroll does use "Main" for their Engish anime translations because they thought that...

An anime adaption of Part 2 (corresponding to LN and WN chapters ) of Ascendance of a Bookworm was just announced to start in Spring, 2020. We don’t yet know what it’ll adapt or how long it’ll be but it should be one of the following: 1 cour adapting 2 volumes, 1 cour adapting 4 volumes, or 2...

@doppler Likewise if you were to read the light novel you’d notice the all the material the manga cuts out or glosses over. If you're already okay with watching the anime via pirated subs from Crunchyroll (HS is just stolen official subs) then you might as well wait a few days for GJM to release...

@Chrisis I think it’s fine because nobody really cares about omake, it’s not going to influence anybody’s decision to buy it. They don’t have LN side-stories because they weren’t published in a LN, they’re just side stories (just because they’re text based doesn’t make then LN). But you’re right...

@ispcizero3rd The web novel was completing in March, 2017 (non-MTL translations only go up to 103 out of 677 total). The light novel is ongoing with volume 21 coming out on the 10th of December and based on where that volume will end and the WN we can say the series should be 32 volumes when...

@Thiron It's because the manga is first translated and goes through a round or two of editing on /a/ , so what the groups do here is mostly just typesetting the translations. On /a/ the translations are currently at chapter 56 and the raws are at chapter 68 (a new raw should come out in a few days).

@Stilla It should be /a/ not /u/ because all the translations threads are done on /a/

@Wolvenworks The publisher decided they wanted to release both Part 2 and Part 3 simultaneously which means two artists are required as else wise you would be asking one artist to do two monthly manga which might be too much for them. As to why they decided to release Part 2 and 3 at the same...

@talas You should really just finish this manga for completion as there are only 3 more releases left: chapter 33, chapter 33.5, and an extra chapter. But as I don't think it'll change you mind of the series you shouldn't bother picking up the sequel.

@Kampfarsch The web-novel is split into five "Parts" which are basically just arcs. The LN resets its numbering at the end of each Part, so for example they don't call the seventeenth volume "Volume 17" they call it "Part 4 Volume 5". This convention is carried over to the manga. Look at the...
