  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Daddy needs
• 0:09
  to talk. I'm your host, Robert.
• 0:11
  And today, I actually question, is there anything that you love
• 0:16
  so much, whether it's a hobby? So then you enjoy doing that,
• 0:22
  you would travel to the ends of the Earth that you will go above
• 0:26
  and beyond to find that thing you love so much, or to obtain
• 0:34
  that then that you So greatly enjoy and so that brings us to
• 0:40
  two series. I want to touch on today, one as
• 0:43
  an anime called ascendance of a bookworm.
• 0:48
  I watched seasons 1 and 2, I'll go more in detail about that in
• 0:51
  a second. And then a manga Magus of the
• 0:54
  library. Now, I send this over Bookworm
• 0:59
  is a series that I had kind of, I've known about for a little
• 1:03
  bit and I've seen like screenshot stuff here.
• 1:05
  And there but you know, never just like fully gave it like the
• 1:08
  time of day until maybe like a month ago you about about a
• 1:14
  month ago. I was doing my my first little
• 1:17
  Twitter space on Twitter and a couple buddies are my jump down.
• 1:22
  Will you just chit chat about stuff that we're excited about?
• 1:25
  And one of them had mentioned about a sentence with book worm
• 1:29
  because season 3 just started with the spring anime season and
• 1:33
  it's always okay. I might add that to my list and
• 1:35
  I Take it out. And then Magus of the library
• 1:41
  that is one that I'm pretty sure I can passing glance.
• 1:45
  I saw the volumes and stuff in the store but never paid it.
• 1:48
  No attention or whatever, until a couple of things I saw.
• 1:56
  I'm trying to think I can remember which happen first
• 1:58
  were. Basically, I saw around the same
• 2:01
  time I saw Channel. Follow Hobbies of a man.
• 2:08
  He did a review of volume 1 and I watch Like a few minutes of
• 2:13
  just be like a general idea but also what I picked up blue
• 2:17
  period volume 6. And you know how much I love
• 2:19
  blue period. If I haven't listened to my
• 2:21
  review, go check that out but and the back of the period you
• 2:26
  know how you know some manga stuff will have ads and stuff.
• 2:29
  Advertisements for other cities in the back.
• 2:32
  Well Next to which had to be a, which is another series I love
• 2:38
  was Magus of the library. So I scrolled over a few shelves
• 2:44
  at the store. They didn't have volume one and
• 2:47
  two at a time by just grabbed a volume and just kind of just
• 2:49
  like flip through it. And the art was freaking
• 2:51
  fantastic and so thus began my hunt for volume 1.
• 2:55
  I eventually got it and I have now read volumes 1 through 5
• 3:00
  which I will have a in-depth spoiler.
• 3:03
  Talk about that and a separate episode.
• 3:07
  But today, I just want to just kind of talk about both of these
• 3:10
  series together because they kind of follow similar.
• 3:13
  Things of both of the main characters of the series, have a
• 3:20
  strong love and passion for reading and four books.
• 3:24
  So, starting with a sentence of a bookworm, basically, it
• 3:30
  follows total, what was her name?
• 3:33
  She are reincarnated. So it follows a woman named
• 3:39
  Aurora know who she was in college and she was working at a
• 3:43
  bookstore and she was, she was working her way up to becoming a
• 3:45
  librarian. When, unfortunately, the thing
• 3:47
  that she loves kills her, there was an earthquake, that happened
• 3:53
  tons of books, fell off the bookshelf and crushed her.
• 3:55
  She ends up dying and get and getting a reincarnated into this
• 4:00
  five year old girl's body in this.
• 4:03
  Fantasy world. But the little girl, she is very
• 4:07
  sickly. So she has a loving family.
• 4:11
  She has a father who is like a guard in Town.
• 4:17
  Her mom and her older sisters are older, sister are kind of
• 4:21
  like seamstresses and stuff like that.
• 4:24
  And so she kind of, you know, of course, the main thing on her
• 4:30
  mind is books, books, books books, and she's like, hey,
• 4:34
  Where are the books worth Library?
• 4:37
  All the stuff whatever. And unfortunately she is in a
• 4:40
  situation to where only the elites of elite people in this
• 4:44
  world get to read books because first of all, not many people in
• 4:47
  this world, know how to read and write but the joys of getting a
• 4:54
  book and owning a book is something that is reserved for
• 4:58
  like the high Elite families and people and stuff and thus begins
• 5:02
  her kind of Need to do whatever it takes for her to obtain these
• 5:08
  books. And so she kind of uses her
• 5:12
  knowledge of normal stuff to kind of help make money.
• 5:18
  And to kind of Ascend through the hierarchy, to get closer and
• 5:24
  closer to books because she she basket kind of starts off,
• 5:27
  trying to make her own book and stuff.
• 5:29
  Whatever. I so it's a long journey, lots
• 5:33
  of trial and error. But one thing I love about it is
• 5:37
  like some of like the simplest stuff that she comes up with to
• 5:40
  make money. It's simple stuff like or just
• 5:43
  simple ideas. As far as like, she got her
• 5:48
  father to like, to like a carve a little, like a stick and to
• 5:51
  basically a hairpin because she was like, Hey, you know, she
• 5:54
  wants to have her hair, kind of tied up a little bit or
• 5:56
  whatever. A simple steak, boom.
• 5:59
  People are. Oh my God, how is your hair up?
• 6:01
  People freaking out, she she made pancakes my time.
• 6:04
  Everybody lost a minded like yo what is this as so it is just a
• 6:09
  whole host of variety of her making different food items, and
• 6:14
  different tools and stuff. And she along like, the I've
• 6:19
  only seen through season two in the season two.
• 6:21
  I haven't started season 3 yet. But through those two seasons,
• 6:25
  you know, she of course had this young 56 year old girl coming up
• 6:33
  with all these ideas and inventions.
• 6:34
  And stuff for the, of course, that is garnering, a lot of
• 6:36
  attention. And So eventually she ends up
• 6:38
  becoming an apprentice and so on and so forth and along the way,
• 6:45
  you know, she is kind of like doing whatever she can to get
• 6:49
  her hands on books and things that nature.
• 6:52
  So real quick pivoting a little bit over to Magus of the
• 6:56
  library, I kind of similar situation but not an Izakaya but
• 7:01
  the main character of magus is a Young boy, named Theophilus.
• 7:07
  Who is basically that he's called a mixed blood to where he
• 7:12
  is born of two different races and but he is born and a super
• 7:21
  poor out in the desert, small country town to where, you know,
• 7:31
  people mistreat him because he he looks different Because of
• 7:35
  him being mixed blood, you know, he looks different.
• 7:38
  He know he has his this very unique blond hair, kind of like
• 7:41
  pale like ants can skin and so on and so forth.
• 7:46
  But he is being raised by older sister, which clearly she
• 7:49
  adopted him or something, because she looks nothing like
• 7:51
  him. She's like, she's like a
• 7:53
  darker-skinned chick whatever. But she loves and cares for Theo
• 8:00
  and basically Works to the Bone to provide him with a good life.
• 8:04
  What the ow loves books but he gets discriminated against
• 8:10
  because of how he loves because he's poor.
• 8:12
  And so the gatherers the library is always chasing him out BL.
• 8:16
  I know you're banned you're not allowed to enter the library
• 8:19
  because if people see you in here it's going to Sully the
• 8:22
  good name. Yada yada yada yada well.
• 8:27
  Along the way, this group of people called Costner come
• 8:33
  through town. They're there, they basically,
• 8:35
  they're from this place called the Central Library, which is
• 8:40
  the hub for all books in this world.
• 8:43
  So every new book, everything is catalogued here and distributed
• 8:48
  from this location and these Costner or people that kind of
• 8:51
  travel around to different to the libraries across the
• 8:53
  country, making sure that people are staying within, you know,
• 8:59
  Code and start standards and you know picking up any like like a
• 9:05
  lost artifacts or books of high importance and stuff like that.
• 9:09
  So anywho a group of them come through town.
• 9:13
  One of them's name is Sedona and I would equate Sedona.
• 9:20
  He is kind of like to me. He is a mixed two Shanks from
• 9:26
  One Piece. But also Sinbad from my ghee and
• 9:31
  the Labyrinth of Magic. Now, the shanks comparison think
• 9:34
  of it. Basically, if like, if if Shanks
• 9:37
  gave Luffy a book instead of the straw hat, that is how I see
• 9:42
  Sedona. But through their meeting or
• 9:46
  whatever, it kind of gives Theo this boost of confidence of
• 9:50
  like, hey, you can be more than what you are.
• 9:53
  You can chase your dreams and if so, He begins his journey to try
• 9:59
  to become a Kaufman himself and so like, like a really cool
• 10:05
  similarity between both a Sinister of a bookworm and
• 10:07
  maggots a library, is it both of them?
• 10:09
  Kind of have like coming-of-age moments to wear and Bookworm
• 10:18
  once you hit the age of 7, you get baptized and then you can
• 10:22
  become an apprentice for somebody to basically start
• 10:26
  learning to work in. Stuff like that.
• 10:28
  And then and Magus, I believe, I think, I think they just 13.
• 10:33
  I want to say, I think that once you do that, then you can set
• 10:38
  out on a journey to go and take this test this exam to try to
• 10:42
  become a cough Nur, and so yeah. So, but yeah, but but, but both
• 10:48
  of these series, I just really enjoy how both of these
• 10:51
  characters for one just I truly cherish their love of books.
• 10:58
  So much sound that sometimes like, hey, if a book is a
• 11:02
  getting damaged or mistreated or whatever it was set them off,
• 11:07
  especially mine, from Bookworm. Because she also kind of has
• 11:14
  that like this kind of like illness to where basically
• 11:19
  people who are of royal blood, if you were born with a excess
• 11:24
  of Mana then it's basically like I could These that will slowly
• 11:29
  kill you over time and every time she gets like really
• 11:32
  frustrated or upset, it kind of causes this to kind of like
• 11:40
  flare up or whatever as we kind of see throughout the series,
• 11:43
  you know, she's constantly, no, she just too worked up and this
• 11:47
  sickness overtakes her that she's bedridden with fever and
• 11:51
  stuff for a days if not weeks at a time.
• 11:55
  And so, yeah, but both, Of these series are ones that I really
• 12:03
  really really loved and enjoyed like I said I know a lot of
• 12:07
  people kind of get tired of Asic eyes and stuff from time to time
• 12:10
  but with the sentence of a bookworm.
• 12:14
  I just loved how the central theme is not about all these
• 12:18
  people with o.p.p. powers in the bed is now.
• 12:21
  Yes, there are some people within the world that do have
• 12:24
  magic and stuff like that, but the core of the story is
• 12:30
  following this woman, who is now the sickly girl on her journey
• 12:36
  to basically build her own library and just all the trials
• 12:41
  and tribulations that she goes through.
• 12:43
  On the way, it is, just such a awesome story.
• 12:48
  And like I said, earlier, one thing, I truly love about both
• 12:52
  of these series and then I enjoy and Series in general, is when
• 12:57
  characters have a loving support system to help them along the
• 13:02
  way, because mine, like I said, she has her mother father, her
• 13:06
  sister, as well as some close friends.
• 13:10
  That she has met along the way that will stand up and back her,
• 13:16
  no matter what and same thing with Theo and Magus is that, you
• 13:20
  know, he has his sister loves and cares for him.
• 13:23
  He has his mentor that he meets along the way and all these
• 13:27
  other characters that he kind of interacts and stuff as you go
• 13:31
  further throughout the series. But yeah.
• 13:34
  But both of these series, like I said, I highly recommend
• 13:37
  checking out a sentence with a book.
• 13:40
  ERM. Like I said, season 3, just
• 13:42
  started. I'm waiting a little bit because
• 13:45
  I have watched seasons 1 and 2 in dub and I enjoyed it.
• 13:48
  So I'm going to see if I can wait and see.
• 13:50
  No, fifth a dove that sound. If not, I'll eventually get
• 13:53
  around to watching it. Bombay, I washed out on
• 13:56
  Crunchyroll and then Magus of the library, there are currently
• 14:00
  five volumes. For those of you that are
• 14:02
  watching the video version, I can see all five lined up behind
• 14:04
  me. There are currently five volumes
• 14:06
  out right now. Volume 6 isn't coming out of to
• 14:09
  December. Of this year, December 2020 to.
• 14:12
  But, but I will say, this is a very Magus of the library is a
• 14:18
  very dense read. And what I mean by that, is that
• 14:22
  it, it, it is very detailed in the story.
• 14:28
  The World building character backgrounds, all that stuff,
• 14:32
  it's going to give it to you, but sometimes it is a lot of
• 14:35
  text sometimes, but Is one of those things where like if you
• 14:40
  take your time and you just go along for the journey or
• 14:42
  whatever, then like I said it just it just the amount of
• 14:47
  detail that they give you just bringing this world and these
• 14:51
  characters even more so to life. So yeah.
• 14:55
  But but yeah, go check it out. Go check out both of these
• 14:57
  series. I do hope that maybe someday
• 15:00
  Magus or the library, might maybe get an anime because with
• 15:04
  witch hat till ye recently getting a anime announcement.
• 15:09
  Um then it's okay. Cool.
• 15:10
  That's finally getting anime. So maybe you know, in the coming
• 15:15
  years or so, we'll hear something about mackeson library
• 15:19
  but for now you know though picking up and check it out but
• 15:23
  with that, I'm in this here like I just want to just kind of keep
• 15:25
  this nice and shorts because I like so I just really enjoyed
• 15:28
  both of these series and just wanted to do a little something
• 15:31
  to just kind of recommend and bring them to more people's
• 15:34
  attention to because like I said, I don't really see too
• 15:37
  many people talking about Out either of these series,
• 15:41
  especially Magus of the library. But like I said, if if, if you
• 15:46
  or somebody who is just looking for, just something a little bit
• 15:50
  different to reader to watch, check out both of these Series.
• 15:53
  So I'm a sense of a bookworm. I'll watch that on Crunchyroll.
• 15:58
  And then like I said, max Library, picked it up, pick it
• 16:00
  up, wherever, you know, you by your manga, you know, whether
• 16:05
  it's in person or ordering online because They are

• 16:17

• 16:21
  of Max a library is mitsue uzume.
• 16:25
  And let's see for a sentence of a bookworm.
• 16:31
  The manga for that, Is done or the light novels is done by
• 16:37
  media Kazuki but let me see who's doing the anime.
• 16:43
  Do do, do, do do. I've never even heard of this

• 16:52
  Never heard of them, Baba, that that that's who's doing the
• 16:55
