A special commentary by the author, Yui, was revealed:
Congratulations! Bibliophile Princess anime! When I heard the news, I was really, incredibly surprised. I thought it was a dream and pinched myself (laughs). I think this is all thanks to my readers who supported me, but also Yui Kikuta and Satsuki Shiina, who are in charge of the manga version and illustrations. It would make me very happy if everyone could the world of Bibliophile Princess, which is now expanding with anime. Looking forward to meeting you all.

J-Novel Club licensed both the light novel and the manga adaptation in English, with Alyssa Niioka as the translator. They describe the plot as:
When book-loving Lady Elianna spots Prince Christopher—her betrothed in name only—consorting with another noble lady, she realizes the recent rumors must be true. The prince has someone he truly loves, which means the annulment of their engagement is both inevitable and fast-approaching. What she doesn’t realize is that this is merely a surface ripple—one of many where the truth runs deep, in a conspiracy surpassing her imagination!
