I can't find a physical version of this manga, which is weird because all the other volumes have come in out in a physical version thus far. And this is an important part of the story. Myne has to begin her winter stay at the temple sooner because of certain events and she sets in motion obtaining another important part for eventually starting the printing industry. The story is carefully constructed, and often small things come back later in the story which will prove to be important. And the part of the story hinted at in the cover is a VITAL PART OF THE STORY - it's how the Ferdinand and his faction decide that she is someone valuable to them, someone worth protecting and bringing into their fold. How can it not have a physical version?!!! And I love that we get a little more perspective on how some of the other characters saw the same events from the light novel. I am going to buy them all - which will be a long time coming because the manga isn't actually all that far into the story. The light novel only has so many volumes left to be translated into English - and then I will have that full story - and it's over 40 volumes long. And do you know what will happen once I get all the volumes of the completed story? Read it all from the beginning. I love this story so much. And the anime is pretty good too, and it's supposed to get a third season!

Lots of interesting stuff in this volume - the high priest takes Myne into her memories and finds out a lot about her past life. She gets to talk with her mother once more, which made for a touching scene. Myne becomes Johann's patron and orders a set of lettertype, some skanky business goes down with the ink guild, and the head priest asks the commander of the Knight's Order to adopt Myne.

[The Book Dragon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Myne survived the thromb attack and faces her next trial: convincing Ferdinand that she’s not dangerous. So it’s flashback time.

But the quest for book must continue, despite interference from the nobility, as Myne agrees to be Johann’s patron. And with paper production on hold for the winter, Myne redirects to card and board games.

As always, Benno is a treat.

[Donna · Rating 4 out of 5]

The High Priest shares Myne's memories of her home world and asks a noble to adopt her.

A lot of stuff has happened in these last two volumes! On the cozy side, Myne also gets and gives hugs and realizes she is stuck in the temple for winter.
