ASCENDANCE OF A BOOKWORM GN (2025)

Myne narrowly escapes death thanks to a magic tool, but is told that she only has one year left to live at most. She decides to spend her remaining time with her family, concluding that she would rather die with them than sign her life away to a noble. Meanwhile, Lutz fights back against his parents, steeling his resolve to become a merchant no matter what. Together, they plan to continue making paper up until their baptism ceremony, but are soon called over by Freida to talk about the Devouring.

Myne advances further into book-making so that she can have books to read. Her disease is known as "the Devouring," and upon learning that it requires an exorbitant amount of money to cure, she resolves to stay alive by selling her knowledge from her past life. But despite her best efforts, the Devouring heat eats away at her day by day, and she ultimately loses consciousness during a business discussion. This is a biblio-fantasy by bookworms, for bookworms!
