    Synopsis:

    Myne, a commoner burdened by a debilitating mana disorder, eagerly accepts an opportunity to join the Holy Church. Promised a cure through access to their vast library, she embraces a life as an apprentice priestess, quickly finding herself immersed in the rigid hierarchy of the Church's society. While initially driven by her passion for knowledge, Myne discovers the harsh realities of noble life: political maneuvering, class divisions between blue and grey robed orders, and the manipulative ambitions of those around her.

    Navigating these complexities, she relies on the support of trusted individuals – family, friends, and the enigmatic Head Priest – as she strives to reconcile her scholarly aspirations with the demands of her new position. The series explores themes of social mobility, personal sacrifice, and the power of knowledge within a structured, often unforgiving world. Myne’s journey is a quiet exploration of ambition and self-discovery amid institutional constraints.
