Bookworm is a great ride, but it’s one where you really need to just bite the bullet and read the books, rather than wasting time with the anime. There’s pretty much zero chance of the whole thing actually getting adapted, and they made some changes early on that put it totally at odds with how things wind up playing out in the books, so I’m not sure how even a benevolent, otaku sponsor could fix it with a fully funded adaptation, short of just doing a complete reboot of the series and starting over.
