About this title
Synopsis
Urano Motosu's lifelong dream to become a librarian comes true. Luck is not on her side, however, as a plethora of books falls on her during an earthquake. On the verge of death, she begs God to be reborn surrounded by nothing but books. Her wish is fulfilled, albeit not how she expected: Urano is reincarnated as Myne—a sickly five-year-old child with an ardent desire to read—in another world where the upper class controls knowledge, and only the privileged have access to written works. As a commoner, Myne is distraught that she will never be able to find what she is yearning for. To obtain books, Myne decides she should make them herself. Currently, she is but a kid thrust into an unknown place—but nothing will not stop Myne from achieving her goal. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Main characters
Myne1859 fan favoritesExternal profileFormer name (before reincarnation): Motosu Urano (本須 麗乃) Originally a young woman from our world who just finished her studies to become a librarian and died buried in her own books after an earthquake caused her bookshelves to fall on her, she found herself reincarnated in a very frail body of a 5-year-old young girl called Myne in a fantasy world. She loves books above everything else and living a quiet life surrounded by books is her long life goal. She has read a massive amount of books in her former life and has a good memory of the content that especially interested her. While originally her motivation was only books and she didn't care about anything else, she becomes more and more involved in many other things, as she start to care and love more and more her new family and many other peoples she encounters. Her body is so frail that she easily get tired after walking for a bit, and whenever she forces herself too much she gets strong fevers that can last for days. She has a strong talent to teach others and motivate them in their studies. She is usually very level headed but will go berserk whenever books get involved. The peoples around her know that tendency and will try to reason her whenever she becomes too reckless. As time passes, she became more receptive to those words, especially when they come from Ferdinand and Lutz.
