本好きの下剋上 ~司書になるためには手段を選んでいられません~

Summary

Urano Motosu, an avid book lover and aspiring librarian, meets an untimely death in a tragic accident. Her final wish—to be surrounded by books—mysteriously comes true when she is reincarnated as Myne, a frail girl in a medieval world where books are rare luxuries owned only by the elite. Determined to never be without books again, Myne sets out on a mission to create them herself, despite the many obstacles posed by her frail health and the limited technology of her new world.

In her quest, Myne navigates the challenges of living in a society with a strict class system that restricts access to literature. Her love for books fuels her innovation, driving her to concoct ways to produce them, thereby bringing literature closer to the common people. As she uses her knowledge from her previous life to influence her new surroundings, Myne's journey transforms not only her own life but also the very culture around her, proving that her passion for books is a powerful force capable of change.
