  Streaming service HIDIVE is continuing its Fall 2022 simulcast announcements by shifting gears from battle maids in Akihabara to the story of a princess that prefers books over royal duties in Bibliophile Princess . The series is described below:   Known as the Bibliophile Princess for her unquenchable love of books, Lady Eliana Bernstein wants nothing more than to shirk social duties in favor of retreating to the library.

But much like the plot of her favorite novel, soon Eli’s feelings for the prince develop in unexpected ways, and she realizes she can’t always judge a royal book by its cover.   The  Bibliophile Princess  TV   anime is being directed by  Tarou Iwasaki  ( swee
