The first quarter of 2021 has been a bustling period for anime and manga fans, with numerous exciting licenses announced. Among these, one series that has captured the hearts of many is “I’m in Love with the Villainess,” a yuri isekai manga that has been making waves in the manga community.

About ‘I’m in Love with the Villainess’

“I’m in Love with the Villainess” is a manga adaptation of the bestselling and critically acclaimed yuri isekai light novels by Inori and Aonoshimo. The story follows Oohashi Rei, an ordinary office worker who wakes up in the body of the protagonist of her favorite otome game, “Revolution.” To her delight, the first person to greet her is her favorite character, Claire Francois—the main antagonist of the story. Rei is determined to romance Claire instead of the game’s male leads, but how will her villainous lady love react to this new courtship?
