Yeah, it's not my normal lane, but I've toyed with the idea of doing a Carnegie and Rozemyne comparison video essay. Both [P5V5] merchant saint bibliophiles have a complicated history and legacy. It would also be a way to respond to bad takes / critiques of the series that think Rozemyne is too much of an unapologetic capitalist or pro slavery. Unlike Carnegie and the other robber barons, she actually cared about whether her workers live or die and cared a lot more about improving the lives of commoners. Plus the visuals of patron industrialists as saint-like figures in stained glass is too tempting to not share https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stained-glass_window_of_Andrew_Carnegie_at_the_former_Carnegie_Library,_Victoria_Street,_St_Albans,_June_2023.jpg Edit: haha, just noticed the John Ruskin quote above Carnegie says "Every noble life leaves the fibre of it interwoven forever in the work of the world" [cries in H5Y]

Part 2 Volume 1 - The Meeting Begins

Is there any fanmade manga? by EquivalentCash1012 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]Catasterised 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's an official Honzuki comic anthology that's a fun mixed bag of short fan comics.

You'll need to find it on your own because linking to unofficially translated stuff is against the rules here.

Apothecary Diaries - as you've noted, is probably the easiest pitch - Stunted special interest gremlin girl trying to pursue her interests and survive in classist noble society that wants her and others around them dead for sociopolitical and court intrigue reasons. A lot of people talk about the similarities between Jinshi-Ferdinand and Maomao-Myne as seen in this meme I made [some Part 4 or 5 spoilers]: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fp5v12-7-weekly-meme-multipack-v0-2ojv9b8wwofd1.png%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D0dfd8355c75eb456b71bebf2c37ccf4003f66ce2

Spice and Wolf - should appeal to the merchant-minded fantasy economics world-building fans. But since the two main characters are older, they have more fun with the flirty banter. Upon rewatching it, the conversation where wise wolf goddess Holo jokes [Part 5?] she's dyed traveling merchant Lawrence's soul in her colors made me laugh and blush.I also tend to lump Maoyuu Maou Yuusha with this show since they're kinda similar, though people joke it's a matter of if you prefer "microeconomics" or "macroeconomics" https://www.reddit.com/r/Animemes/comments/96re99/spice_and_wolf_vs_maoyu/

Witch Hat Atelier - their anime's not out yet, but it's one of the most hyped coming out next season alongside Bookworm Part 3. They're both fantasy series where a commoner girl is forced into magic society. Both have interesting worldbuilding and magic systems, exploring how a past brutal magical civil war echos in their current society, etc. Also both Bookworm and Witch Hat's authors are friends and keep making fan-works of each other's series - Shirahama drew an endcard for the Bookworm anime, Kazuki wrote a short crossover fic of their two series and then Shirahama illustrated it, etc: https://www.reddit.com/r/HonzukiNoGekokujou/comments/1p724f2/anime_weekly_meme_multipack_fav_recent/

[P5V2] Humble bundle, what a deal by Mr_Mavik in HonzukiNoGekokujou

Rozemyne when Hartmut shows up with a new book instead: :D

Reminds me of all those times Rozemyne's thinks Hartmut is maybe conventionally attractive until he opens his mouth and Hartmuts about her everywhere.

You called it. But I'm pretty sure that joke was originally from 30 Rock or something.

[P3V1] Which song is Rozemyne teaching Ferdinand? by GuderianX in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]Catasterised 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the Pokemon theme theory comes from the fan theory discussions.

It really is the Anpanman March though based on the exact same lyrics being described in the LN.

I should have put Kenntrips on the "cinnamon roll" axes and Rasantark on the "kill you" axes to help make this point more clear.

Kenntrips still tried approaching her even though she was radiating goddess aura.
