However, anime director Mitsuru Hongo has some good news, because he announced that all 26 episodes of Ascendance of a Bookworm have been submitted already and are all ready for release.
He also said that he hopes Ascendance of a Bookworm will provide people with some sort of entertainment in these trying times.
The director acknowledged that the anime’s broadcast had been pushed forward from the original plans due to various issues.
Unfortunately, it has also affected the Japanese animation industry, delaying or postponing many TV anime, OVAs, and movies.
