The show follows Myne, who is crazy for books.

There is nothing disappointing about the second season of this drama. It ends on a good note and leaves its viewers relieved.

In-Depth Analysis

When Myne hears that the Holy Church requires mana for its relics, she views this as an opportunity to be healed of her life-threatening mana problem. She dives deeply into the Church’s embrace after discovering their vast library and asks to join their order. Despite being a commoner, Myne is awarded the blue robes of a noble-born apprentice priestess in exchange for her service and an exceptionally abundant supply of mana. All this talk of mana and nobility is meaningless to Myne now that she has access to an endless supply of books! As Myne adjusts to her new existence in this new society, she quickly discovers that accomplishing her goal has come at a high price. Noble society is strict, harsh, and driven by politics and neglect. She now has to contend with a class dispute between the noble-born blue robes and the common-born grey robes, as well as the High Priest’s attempts to overthrow her and her new retainers’ continual misbehavior. Myne attempts to overcome these difficulties with the support of her family, friends, and the enigmatic Head Priest, whose allegiance and purposes are unclear, and to continue on her journey to become her ideal self—the perfect librarian!
