The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess, vol 1

 

Today's post is on  The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess, vol 1 by Akiharu Touka. It is 187 pages long and is published by Yen Press. The cover has three of the main characters on it. The intended reader is someone who likes humorous manga, isekai, and over the top tropes. There is some very mild foul language, mild sexuality, and no violence. The story is told from third person close of the main character Konoha aka Iana. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Konoha Satou has a dark history. Although she's not the only middle schooler who's dreamed about romance and adventure, Satou takes it to the next level when she writes herself into a reincarnation fic as the main heroine. But little does she knew, her fantasies will become reality when she wakes up in her Dark History!  There's just one small complication... Instead of playing the role of heroine, she's the most despicable villainess- Konoha's little sister, Iana. Which means if she wants to avoid tripping her own death flags, she'll have to remember every last detail of her story...

Review- A really funny isekai story that engages with the tropes of the theme and all the chaos that comes with it. Konoha was killed in her first life and woke up in the novel she wrote as a teenager as the prologue villain, Iana. After surviving into the main story, she now is trying to help the real heroine survive the very dark story that Iana's fifteen old year self wrote. I really had a good time with this manga, it is silly and funny, and plays with the tropes of isekai and shojo manga. Iana is so funny, she is over the top trying to save the heroine and avoid getting herself killed by her own fiancée. If you are looking for new take on the isekai tropes, then you should read this manga. I am looking forward to reading the next volume. 

I give this manga a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
