HeaderSynopsis

An avid bookworm and college student Motosu Urano ends up dying in an unforeseen accident, right after landing her dream job as a librarian.

When she regains consciousness, she is reborn as Myne, the daughter of a poor soldier. She lives in Ehrenfest, a city with medieval-era technology and a strict class system where the magic-wielding nobles rule supreme. But Myne doesn't let that get to her. After all, as long as she has books, she doesn't really need anything else.

However, the new world has a very low literacy rate and no printing presses, so books are scarce and belong only to nobles. They're completely out of reach for a commoner like Myne. But that doesn't stop her from wanting to read books, so she makes a decision: "If there aren't any books, I'll just create some."
