Ascendance of a Bookworm: Hannelore’s Fifth Year at the Royal Academy Volume 3

After refusing Ortwin’s proposal, Hannelore returns to her dormitory only to receive more bad news: she no longer has a say in whom she marries. Her father, the aub, has judged her too indecisive and made the decision for her.

Hannelore racks her brain for a way forward. Having resolved to stay in Dunkelfelger, she reassesses her relationship with her retainers and considers what she needs from a partner who can stand beside her. But just as she finds clarity amid her tangled emotions, an urgent summons arrives from the Zent.

As threads weave across time and space, Lady Crybaby finally launches a charge of her own in the third volume of this love-battle fantasy, featuring two original short stories and four-panel manga by You Shiina!
