Bernard-jou Iwaku.

1. Cast is all-girl
2. Not in the romance genre*
3. Only Slice of life shows[so no action/battle shows].

Literary & library related series, but also just book stuff too.

Anime that portray characters heavily influenced by words. This could be anything from a librarian, a writer, editor, etc.

As well as characters who have troubles with speech, writing, or using words to express themselves properly.

Some anime listed may be included because the book / words themselves take on a life of their own.

Basically anything related to the subject will be included.

Please feel free to contact me if there are any more anime that need to be added. Thanks!

~~~Honorable Mention~~~
- Junjou Romantica, novelist
- Tokyo Ghoul, avid reader
- Mysteria Friends, magical books
- Gosick, Library
- Shadows House , notes and diaries

I think the tittle is pretty self-explanatory.

*not all the tittles are parodies
**they are UNPOPULAR not HIDDEN GEMS so many of them could be pretty bad lmao

Some of my go-to anime series when I'm down or want to chill a little, taking a rest from the highly intense genres I love & always end up choosing to watch! 😅🙈

Anime with short episode lengths.

You know what I mean. Title is a girl’s name with an honorific. Most of these are romcoms obviously. The title lets you know that the show is about this girl and that is pretty much it. I think they all feel pretty similar so I felt like grouping them together.

Also! Will only be including first seasons since I hate stacks that are cluttered with like eight titles all taking up multiple slots.

Anime where characters read literary or philosophical classics, anime with literary references or anime that feature literature as a theme. For all the pseudo-intellectual posers out there; please let me know if you find anything worth adding!

Animes that explore themes around books, bookworms, literature, classics, authors, bookstores, libraries, mangakas, words in general
