Wilma’s primary role is as the orphanage caretaker. Perhaps I’m just forgetting when Wilma was designated as a retainer, but either way, unlike the others she doesn’t live with Myne. The first three were officially designated as Myne’s retainers, and Rosina is designated as a retainer later on. Wilma is the one retainer who I’m not sure counts as a true retainer. But I don’t know what Delia does the rest of the time besides normal chores. As I said, this is a very important job because looks are everything in church and noble society. She’s basically Myne’s fashion expert who helps her get dressed up for special church events. These projects include cleaning areas of the church ground under Myne’s control, like the orphanage, and processing materials for Myne’s books.ĭelia has an important job, but not one that really seems to be utilized that often. Gil is the retainer who oversees the majority of Myne’s manual projects going on around the church. Fran’s role is to be the primary caretaker for Myne - a job that includes carrying her when she’s ill and advising her on how to properly act within her position. ![]() It’s possible that Wilma, or even Rosina, is around the same age as Fran, though. These retainers are Fran, Gil, Delia, Wilma, and Rosina.įran is Myne’s head retainer and also appears to be the oldest of her retainers. Originally she’s given three retainers by the High and Head Priests, but by the end of the season, she effectively has five. ![]() The main group of new characters in season 2 is Myne’s retainers. This series has taken a fairly bland premise and turned it into something interesting, while TenSura took a unique concept and threw it away after the first episode. I’m sure these two series have similar audiences, but I kind of view Ascendance of a Bookworm as the opposite of TenSura. With everything Myne’s doing within the church, like acting as the orphanage director, learning about the magic of the world, and learning how to fit into noble society, I often forget the initial book concept. But that gimmick doesn’t need to be something that lasts throughout the series, or is even at the forefront.Ī book-obsessed girl being sent to a world without books was the gimmick here, but the series has become so much more. Simply being about a character who’s transported to another (often fantasy) world isn’t enough. ![]() Benno and Myne at a meeting in the churchĮvery isekai anime needs some gimmick in order to stand out from the crowd.
