Ascendance of a Bookworm: Part 5

Part 4 of Honzuki no Gekokujou. Rozemyne awakens from her two-year sleep to a world that isn’t as she remembers it. The strange sensation fills her with unease, but she has no time to rest—she is soon to be enrolled in the Royal Academy as an archduke candidate, where she will be taught how to control her mana, make magic tools, and perform the magic needed to rule as an archduke. She begins dormitory life with colorful teachers and students from other duchies, aiming to be the best big sister possible... but there is little chance things will go according to plan when there is a massive library on the premises. She charges there at once, the other archduke candidates and even the royal family disappearing from her mind entirely. She truly will do anything for books! Now begins a new chapter of this biblio-fantasy, with a school as its setting! (Source: J-Novel Club) Note: This entry covers 183 chapters of the webnovel (chapter 278 - 460).

Manga adaptation of Part 5 of Honzuki no Gekokujou. Winter looms heavy in Ehrenfest, where Ferdinand departed. A tip-off about Georgine, a "Goddess of Chaos" who revels in mayhem, hastens the purge. Meanwhile, Rozemyne, now a third-year student at the Royal Academy, is busy trying to shake off her sense of loss. In the dormitory, she persuades the children of Veronica's former faction to avoid being implicated, while the first day of classes for lord candidates begins at the academy. With exams for the civil service course, an encounter with a new senior librarian, and a major in the specialized course, she plunges into a life of drastic change in both her position and her environment from a year ago. As she gradually regains her "self," and even receives the blessings of the gods, Rozemyne's rampage becomes even more unstoppable! "Spread my book-loving virus to everyone!"
