Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 3 has announced its second ending theme song, performed by singer adieu (the stage name of actress Moka Kamishiraishi). The track, titled "Wanna me," will play during the anime's second half as it continues its extended run through the year.
Satoko Shibata composed and wrote the lyrics for the ending theme. The song's CD single arrives July 29, with a limited first pressing that includes a Blu-ray disc featuring footage from adieu's "adieu LIVE 2025 à la plume" concert held last September.
