The production team behind Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 3: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke — the latest anime adaptation of Miya Kazuki’s light novel series Honzuki no Gekokujō — began streaming the anime’s third promotional video on Saturday.
The video’s main draw is a preview of the new ending theme for the anime’s second cours: “Wanna me” performed by adieu, the musical stage name of actress Moka Kamishiraishi. The PV also revisits the opening theme “Power of Love” by Kana Nishino. The new ending song will make its broadcast debut in the episode airing on July 11.

The new series is produced at Wit Studio under director Yoshiaki Iwasaki (Kowloon Generic Romance, Hayate the Combat Butler, We Never Learn: BOKUBEN), who takes over from franchise veteran director Mitsuru Hongō.
