Synopsis
When Myne learns that the Holy Church is in need of mana for their relics, she sees it as her chance to be cured of her life-threatening mana disorder. After seeing their bountiful library, she throws herself headfirst into the Church’s grasp and begs to join their order. In exchange for her service and her unusually bountiful supply of mana, Myne is given the blue robes of a noble-born apprentice priestess, despite being a commoner. To Myne, all this talk of mana and nobility is trivial, as she now has access to an unlimited supply of books!
As Myne transitions into the next phase of her life in this new world, she soon learns that achieving her dream has come at a heavy cost. Noble society is severe, unforgiving, and fueled by politics and neglect. She must now deal with the class conflict between the noble-born blue robes and the common-born grey robes, the High Priest’s attempts to oust her, and constant behavioral issues from her new retainers. With the help of her family, friends, and the enigmatic Head Priest whose loyalties and motives remain unknown, Myne seeks to overcome these obstacles and continue on the path to becoming her ideal self—the ultimate librarian!

For anyone looking for a [Dual Audio low size HEVC] version for [Season 1] of this anime, may I suggest the following upload from [Lord_Itachi]:
https://nyaa.si/view/1248848
Video is from [Judas] with [GJM] subs. Unfortunately WEB and not BD but still nice subtitles =)
Also: Small typo in the folder name. SAVE THE WORM!
Lasroy

From now on I will not include the Language Swap Patch in my [Dual Audio] uploads anymore. I will instead include tools to adjust Language Options with mkvmerge. This will work for all my [Dual Audio] uploads and not just the ones it comes with. If you want to use these on other uploads you might have to adjust the streamIDs (small tutorial in Discord). For anybody interested in applying them to this and to my older [Dual Audio] uploads - here they are in advance:
Link mkvmerge scripts
DoucheEnrique
Or maybe just use a player that allows you to set up your own preferred audio / subtitle tracks …

My PLEX has trouble choosing the correct subtitles track and I only got it to work correctly when they are set to the correct default setting in the metadata. This exists for everybody with similiar problems or who just likes to have their defaults set to their liking for whatever other reason. It also lets you create single audio versions with a single click of a button to save some MBs ;)
MinimumHedgehog
Thanks for the great upload!
And yeah, I definitely know the struggle of PLEX subtitle issues and have spent way too much time changing the track by hand (really appreciate the scripts, but I’m always hesitant to alter the files themselves, since that means no more seeding).
I just recently learned of a really useful python script for changing Plex’s selected audio & subtitle tracks by season, though, and it seems to work really well: plex_set_tracks. Hope someone else finds it as useful as I did!
