Totally Unexpected!

I remember when the first season was rated below 7.00 while it was airing and barely anyone talked about it. Glad it got the recognition it deserves. It is definitely the best isekai I've seen so far.

However, since the arcs are chained pretty closely (like Myne entering the church right after the end of the first arc), people will most likely also feel bad at the end of that third season, wanting for more to avoid cutting at that point.

"Totally Unexpected"

I mean, the last episode ended with the words "The story continues." This doesn't really surprise me at all when taking that into consideration.

They should also prepare season 4 and 5 while they're at it :D

Actually, given the rythm they're going at, the beginning of your spoiler (Part 4 in the LN) would most likely be season 6 or 7. I really doubt we'll ever get there in the anime...

Not even close. The story is pretty long. There are 5 arcs of Bookworm
Arc 1 is 3 Books (Season 1)
Arc 2 is 4 Books (Season 2 adapted the first 2 of 4)
Arc 3 is 5 Books
Arc 4 is 9 Books
Arc 5 is 2 Books so far and still going

Basically, we have a lot of story to look forward to.

Since i was kind of spoiled a big upcoming event, can someone who has read the WN tell me if:


Also, will we see less comedy and more drama? or will it be balanced? or perhaps focus more on lighthearted tone and comedy?

Yeah, not unexpected. It is not a Light Novel series by the way, but a Novel series. As an example of what i mean, i am currently reading Part 1 Volume 3 and this volume alone is already 350 pages. There is nothing "light" in there. And the whole story spans over 27 volumes or somethig like that. I wish the anime would detail more some aspects of the story though. I like how more detailed the merchant stuff is in the books, even though it made me understand how much of a dimwit Myne really is during part 1. She is tricked so easily, that at some point they even stop trying to trick her, since she will do the job herself best. "Give me your price, i will pay", meaning i think "I am pretty sure she will ask for a price even lower that i would have dared ask myself, however much i want to ripp her off".

Honzuki is a light novel, and what decides it is the label it's published in; that label is a light novel label.

Whole story is 33 vol (6 volumes have yet to be published).

33 volumes? Could you please confirm this: Part 1 is 3 volumes, part 2 is 4 volumes, part 3 is 5 volumes, part 4 is 9 volumes and part 5 is 5 volumes i think. Which is 26 total. I had read somewhere that there was 27 actually. But i never heard of 33. Does the story continues for longer? Or is it merely about the way the books are bundled together?

Ok. So it feels weird to me. Because it means that the difference between Novel and Light Novel actually doesn't exist. It is merely tied to the company which publishes it, if i understand correctly.

33 volumes? Could you please confirm this: Part 1 is 3 volumes, part 2 is 4 volumes, part 3 is 5 volumes, part 4 is 9 volumes and part 5 is 5 volumes i think. Which is 26 total.

Thanks for the guidance.

The "27 volumes" is about the number of already released volumes. The 27th was released about 2 weeks ago. But the story is not complete yet in Japan.
According to the author, the part 5 should end at about 12 volumes.

Zefyris said:

series is not complete in LN form yet, but exist in Web Novel form; so the author already knows how much book it will take to do the last part.
You're correct for each part's length besides the 5th. The 6th vol for part 5 was released a bit more than one week ago, and there is still 6 more to come after that, for a total of 12 vol for part 5.
Which makes 3+4+5+9+12 = 33, with 27 of them already released.
At the current rate of publishing, bookworm in LN format will be finished in almost exactly 2 years from now.

Many thanks, you two. I thought that both the web novel and the LN were finished in Japan. Indeed, i thought that having a last part of 'only' 5 volumes, after the 9 volumes of part 4 would mean that the meat of the development would be found in part 4, and that part 5 would simply wrap things up. So, it is pretty good news to me, since it seems that the author took all the time necessary to elaborate the last part, that normally tends to be the one that makes use of everything the series built up before. So, i wouldn't want it to be rushed, if one can call 5 volumes rushing things ^^
