The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess Vol. 2

Today's post is on The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess Vol. 2 by Akiharu Touka. It is 163 pages long and is published by Yen Press. The cover has three of the characters on it. The intended reader is someone who likes the isakai fastasy tropes and playing with them. There is mild foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this manga. The story is told from first person close of the main character, Konoha. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- "I'm really happy to hear the irl I like missed me."
Konoha Satou has a dark history. After all, she spent her teen years writing self-indulgent fantasy romance fics-  like her Dark History. But since she's become its most despicable villainess, remembering every last detail is not a matter of life-and -death. Having avioded the frist couple of death flags, Satou's suddenly left in the dark when a mysterious stranger returns from the Lily Kingdom- a character she doesn't recall writing in the original script. Although Yomi claims to be ally, can Satou as Iana really trust a character she knows nothing about in such a dangerous world?

Review- This is a very funny manga if you know the tropes that Touka is making fun of. From the villainess younger sister and the magical heroine, Touka pulls out all the stops and it is hilarious. SO she has moved past where the villainess sister dies, so Iana is having to try and remember every single character she wrote in the original text from when she was fourteen. It is over-the-top and so silly but also very good. Iana is doing her best and her own story is working against her. I look forward to seeing what trouble comes her way next. 

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