Fans of Ascendance of a Bookworm: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke can now watch the full music video for “Wanna me,” the ending theme performed by adieu, the music project of actress Moka Kamishiraishi. The song has been featured as the anime’s ending theme since Cour 2 premiered on July 11, and the newly released video gives fans a complete visual experience ahead of the CD single’s release on July 29.
adieu Shares the Meaning Behind the Song
The ending theme “Wanna me” is performed by adieu, the music project of actress Moka Kamishiraishi. The song was written and composed by Satoko Shibata, who created it to match the emotional tone of Rozemyne’s story.
During the song’s announcement, adieu shared that she was honored to contribute to a series that has been loved by fans for many years. She explained that she wanted the song to capture the idea that believing in yourself and your dreams can give you the strength to overcome difficult situations.
That message fits perfectly with Rozemyne’s journey throughout the anime. No matter how many obstacles stand in her way, she continues working toward her dream of bringing books to more people, making the song a natural match for the series.
Cour 2 Features New Opening and Ending Themes
Cour 2 introduces a completely new set of theme songs. The opening theme is “Power of Love” by popular Japanese singer Kana Nishino, replacing Little Glee Monster’s “Pages,” which opened the first half of the season.
The ending theme also changes for the second cour. adieu’s “Wanna me” takes over from Erika Ikuta’s “Ima mo, Arigatō,” giving the second half of the anime its own musical style and atmosphere.
Changing both the opening and ending songs between cours has become a familiar tradition for the series. It helps each part of the season feel fresh while matching the emotional direction of the story.
“Wanna me” CD Release Arrives on July 29
Fans who enjoy the ending theme will soon be able to own it on CD. “Wanna me” will be released as a physical single on July 29, giving listeners another way to enjoy the song outside the anime.
A special first-print limited edition will also be available. Along with the CD, it includes a Blu-ray featuring highlights from adieu LIVE 2025 à la plume, which was held in Yokohama in September 2025. This bonus content makes the release especially appealing for fans of adieu, offering both the new ending theme and footage from one of her recent live performances in a single package.
