Myne (Ascendance of a Bookworm) papercraft



Today, I want you to get to know one of my animes I am watching this season and I really like, it's called "Ascendance of a Bookworm" in translation, or "Honzuki no Gekokujou" and has a little girl as a main character called "Myne". And since she is so cute and amazing and awesome, I wanted to make her into a papercraft :) The anime is really something else, more like a tail of passion and the will to live, and I really like the slow pace for a change. All the characters are lovable, but she is the best really so I do hope, if you don't already know it, do give it a chance and watch a few episodes, you'll like it!

As for the papercraft, I really wanted to represent her character and her love of books. So I made her from a 3D modeled body, with hair attached directly on her head, the papercraft being 25 cm tall and with 9 pages to print for the template. The hair however has a hole in the middle of the backside, so you can really make it nice and simple, because I do want everybody to make the craft as easy as it can be. So the head with the hair is no problem to make at all. And no worries, the hole can't be seen from any angle except if you look directly from bellow really, so it makes no difference from the general outlook of the papercraft.

Since she has such a love for books and knowledge, I had to make her with a book in her hands in any case XD The book is a simple rectangle, with simple 2D covers, so you can just glue on the spine of the book, so you can open the covers, since a small, cute surprise illustration awaits you as the inner part of the book ;) what it is, I can't really show in the picture, since the book is closed. So you got to built it to find out! It's really cute XD The title is designed by me and reads "本好きの下剋上" as in the Japanese title of "Ascendance of a Bookworm", so she has her own story in her hands. Very symbolic don't you think? XD

She also has a 1-sided white upper skirt, as in the anime, and some 2-sided misc to make her look like the original look of the anime (since in the manga she looks slightly different), like the knots of the upper skirt, her belt, her hairpin, etc.
