Tensei Akujo no Kuro Rekishi

Most of the anime, primarily shojo, feature the villainess trope. Set in European-type, high society settings.

90% of them seem to be a side branch of fantasy Isekai, getting reincarnated as the supposed villainess in otome games and visual novels.

A compilation of anime which are adapted from manga that ran in LaLa magazine. Sequels are not included, but reboots are.

I have not included La Corda d'Oro or Library Wars due to the original sources being an otome game and a light novel respectively, despite having manga adaptations that ran in LaLa.

Let me know if I'm missing anything. :D

List of anime that would fall under the Villainess or Villainess-adjacent genre. Usually features any mix of reincarnation, royalty, nobility, otome games, and isekai as well as a (typically) girlboss main character.
