#Bibliophile Princess TV Anime Adaptation Revealed for 2022

A TV anime adaptation has officially been revealed for Mushikaburi-hime, the light novel series written by Yui and illustrated by Satsuki Sheena that’s currently available in English as Bibliophile Princess. The series is set to premiere sometime in 2022, and the first set of staff member announcements are here along with the news. 

The Bibliophile Princess anime is being directed by Tarou Iwasaki (sweetness & lightning), with Mitsutaka Hirota (Rent-a-Girlfriend) handling series composition and Mizuka Takahashi (monster design/sub-character design on Overlord III) adapting character designs for the Madhouse production. 

The official website and Twitter account are now live for the anime. 

J-Novel Club publishes the original series—which launched in Japan back in 2015 and has inspired a manga adaptation by Yui Kikuta—in English, and sum up the story like so:

When book-loving Lady Elianna spots Prince Christopher—her betrothed in name only—consorting with another noble lady, she realizes the recent rumors must be true. The prince has someone he truly loves, which means the annulment of their engagement is both inevitable and fast-approaching. What she doesn’t realize is that this is merely a surface ripple—one of many where the truth runs deep, in a conspiracy surpassing her imagination!
