Where to Read and Release Schedule

Raw Chapters: Available on Japanese digital platforms like Comic Corona.

With Part 5 of the manga already underway and Season 4 of the anime premiering in April 2026, it's a great time to be a Bookworm fan!.
True to the series’ spirit, the climax is not a sword fight but a library dispute. A forbidden archive has been opened, and Rozemyne must argue noble law to prevent its destruction. Expect dense dialogue panels (which raw aggregators like Welovemanga cannot translate).
Welovemanga has emerged as a popular destination for Honzuki raw readers for three reasons:
However, be aware: Welovemanga is an unlicensed aggregator. It does not host official translations. The "Honzuki no Gekokujou Part 4 Chap 45 raw" you find there will be in pure Japanese text. You will need to use machine translation (Google Lens or Papago) or wait for a fan scanlation group (like Bookworm Busters) to release the English version, which typically takes 1–2 weeks after the raw drops.
If Welovemanga is slow to update, try these backup raw sources (some may require VPNs to Japan): Welovemanga tends to keep them clean.
| Site | Speed | Notes | |------|-------|-------| | Rawkuma | Fast | Often mirrors Welovemanga | | Comic Corona Official | Fastest (paid) | Requires Japanese JCB credit card | | MangaRaw.club | Medium | Lower image quality | | SenManga | Slow | Reliable for older chapters |

If you have downloaded the raw from Welovemanga, you are likely wondering: When will the English version drop?
Based on historical data for Honzuki no Gekokujou:
| Step | Estimated Time | |------|----------------| | RAW release | Day 0 | | Cleaning & Redrawing | 24–48 hours | | Translation (Japanese to English) | 3–5 days | | Typesetting & Quality Check | 2 days | | English Release on Mangadex / Groups | Approx. 7–9 days after RAW |
Popular scanlation groups like "Rozemyne’s Retainers" and "Shumil Scans" have already announced they are working on Chapter 45. However, they usually remove watermark-heavy early raws. The version on Welovemanga is a direct rip, so expect minor quality issues in the scans.
