What is villainess?

A “villainess” is a young lady who appears as a villain in a story.
By extension, it is a popular genre in recent light novels and manga.
  • The main character is reincarnated as a villainess from a game or novel that the main character used to play or read.
  • The villainess is destined to lose to the heroine, and if she doesn't change her fate, her doom awaits her.
  • In order to avoid that future, she seeks a different fate.
These elements are often incorporated as standard.

It's a villainess' story, but the main character is the main heroine?

hana
The main character, who works as a company employee in the real world, is reincarnated as Rei, the heroine of the game world he was playing. In a mysterious school life...... Claire, the villainess, appears!
hana
Rei is a big fan of Claire! So, even when she is harassed or ignored, Rei is overjoyed because that is what Claire is all about! Rei loves Claire so much that she even goes into a love love relationship with Claire, which is not supposed to happen.

It is a popular manga that has been announced to be made into an anime within 2023. In the story, the main character is reincarnated as the main heroine, not the villainess herself. This type of story is unusual and interesting! It is a manga with quite a lot of comedic elements! Personally, I can recommend this villainess manga!

Hana‘s points!!
The storyline is quite interesting, taking advantage of being a reincarnated person! The story is a pretty legitimate “revenge” story!

hana
Emi, who was living in the present day, was reincarnated as Remilia, a girl in a game who later became a villainess. However, Remilia's soul had not actually disappeared! So, in Remilia's body, the souls of both Emi and Remilia will exist!
hana
Emi helped Remilia improve her relationships with the people around her from an early age so that she would not become a villain in the future. Thanks to this, Remilia becomes a character who is liked by everyone around her, just like a heroine!
hana/fedup
However, eleven years later, the main heroine appears! Moreover, the heroine is also a reincarnated person and is furious that Remilia, who was supposed to be a villainess, is liked! And that main heroine starts spouting lies and harassing those around her so that Remilia becomes the villain......!
hana/closeeye
Villainess stories tend to be those that try their best to create a good future, but in this work, the main heroine, whose character is too evil, and the villainess are thoroughly competing with each other! This is entertaining! Since both sides know to some extent how the game will end, there are quite a few thrilling developments in which they try to outwit their opponents, which makes for a great read!

Very simple, but that's what makes it a good love story! She is a villainess, but somehow she gets loved by a prince from a neighboring country!

hana
As promised, the main character is reincarnated as the villainess Tiararose. However, the next day, the game comes to an end, and it is confirmed that she will be exiled from the country...... Tiara is blamed by her favorite game characters and sentenced to deportation just like in the game.
hana/closeeye
However, Tiara is rescued by a prince from a neighboring country. The prince proposed to Tiara the moment her engagement was called off! Tiara was about to be deported from the country, but he saved her!
hana
The genre is villainess, but if you want to enjoy a love story together, this is the manga for you! The prince is kind and Tiara has a good personality (kind and logical), which makes it easy to read! The illustrations are also beautiful!

Otaku, an overly quirky character reincarnated in the world of Otome games, gets into a wild rage.

hana
Olivia, who has been reincarnated as a villainess this time, is Otaku, a lover of Otome games. She is so Otaku that when she sees characters from her favorite games actually moving and talking, her nose starts to bleed.
hana
Olivia, being such an Otaku, decides to fulfill her role as the “villainess” in order to make the other characters happy......or as destined by the game! But she doesn't want to be meaner to the heroine or other characters than she has to be, and if she gets deported, she needs to improve her survival skills so that she can live in the game world as well......
hana/smile
Will Olivia the Otaku be able to keep all the characters happy and be safely deported? Olivia the Otaku is too funny! She is a villainess character that has never existed before, so if you want to read a one-of-a-kind work of manga, this is the one for you! I recommend this title to those who want to read a unique manga!

The main character, reincarnated in an Otome game x RPG world, is actually a backstage boss......!

hana
Yumiera, who has reincarnated this time, remembers that she is the final boss in the game at the moment of her reincarnation!
hana/closeeye
If nothing is done, the protagonists will defeat her. But Yumiera comes up with an idea! Yumiera becomes a backstage boss because of her hatred for the protagonists, but her ideas are......
  • To avoid getting involved with the heroines as much as possible (so as not to create feelings of hatred)
  • Secretly defeat the Demon King so that everyone can live in peace!
hana
So, out of habit from her gamer days, she steadily raised her level...... and on the day of the entrance ceremony, it was revealed that her level was 99.
hana/smile
Level 99???? She is the Demon King!!!! Yumiera is the subject of a frenzy from everyone around her! How will her fate turn out to be?
hana
Funny because Yumiera is too much of a gamer! In RPGs, leveling up is a steady process we all do. It's just too funny how that overly serious personality can lead to outrageous situations. I know how she feels so painfully! I recommend it to anyone who likes manga but also likes RPGs!

She is a villainess, but she is not a beauty. A four-frame gag manga with strong personalities!

hana
The protagonist, who was too ordinary-looking in her previous life, was reborn as Sandrain, a villainess in the game world.
hana/closeeye
However, the influence of her previous life was so strong that she looked plain even after her reincarnation.
hana
Huh? Isn't Sandrain's face different from the one in the game? Sandrain's face is so ordinary that she thinks to herself. The surrounding characters are too handsome, and Sandrain decided not to mind it at all. I have an ordinary face, but what does that matter? Can Sandrai, the villainess, fulfill her mission?
hana/smile
Super funny!!! Sandrain's open personality and her face are so cute that you can't help but turn the pages while giggling! It's quite rare to find a four-frame manga about a villainess! I recommend it to those who want to read a funny four-frame manga rather than those who want to read the story of the villainess. The gag elements are so strong and funny!

Before reincarnation, he was a middle-aged businessman!

hana/fedup
Reincarnated as the villainess Grace is...... a 40-something old man who has never played an Otome game before! As he is a middle-aged man, he has a lot of experience as a member of society, but he has no idea how to behave as a villainess!
hana
Even though he tries to act like a villainess, he ends up behaving like a 40-year-old businessman out of habit! No matter how you look at it, his words and actions are not from the perspective of his classmates, but from the perspective of their parents! Since he is a businessman, he has a unique way of getting around in a crisis! His criteria for judging a good-looking guy is that he has a lot of hair (the opposite of what he had before he died), etc...... He lives through the world of Otome games from a perspective that is so innovative!
hana
There is something wrong with her, but she acts so majestically...... So, Grace has unknowingly become a charismatic young lady who attracts the admiration of those around her!
hana/smile
A manga with a simple and interesting setting! It's a funny manga with a lot of 40 year old businessman's life......I wonder if they will make it into an anime......I hope they do! I hope it will be made into an anime!
