The official third main trailer for the second half of the TV anime series "Honzuki no Gekokujou: Ryoushu no Youjo" (Ascendance of a Bookworm: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke) has been released. First shown on June 27, 2026, the clip not only offers a preview of the upcoming events but also provides the first listen of the new ending theme.
The ending for the second cour will be performed by singer and actress Moka Kamishiraishi under her stage name adieu, with the title "Wanna me." The song was written and composed by renowned singer-songwriter Satoko Shibata. adieu herself commented on the piece: "I expressed the beauty of 'faith' as depicted in 'Honzuki no Gekokujou' in my own way. The work taught me that trusting in what you love ultimately means trusting in yourself."
In addition to the ending theme, the opening "Power of Love" by Kana Nishino can also be heard in the trailer, which was previously introduced in its own special video. The third main trailer combines the series' central motifs—family love, bookmaking, and fantasy—with new scenes from the second cour. It impressively showcases both the protagonist Rozemyne's efforts to establish the printing industry and the magical battles triggered by her immense magical power.
