 Publishing company Kadokawa announced an anime adaptation of Sarasa Nagase's Akuyaku Reijou nanode Last Boss wo Kattemimashita (I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss) light novel on Friday. The anime project is commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Kadokawa Beans Bunko imprint.Synopsis Being acutely ill, a young girl has spent most of her life in a hospital room playing otome games to fill her time. However, she one day finds herself in the midst of a scene from one of these games as the story's villainess, Irene Loren D'Autriche. At the banquet to celebrate the end of the academy's winter term, the crown prince and Irene's childhood friend, Cedric Jeanne Elmeier, publicly annuls his engagement with Irene and announces that he is in love with Lilia Rainworth, the game's female protagonist. Aware of the tragic future ahead of her and determined to change it, the young girl resolves to conquer the game's final boss, the "Demon King" and Cedric's half-brother, Claude Jeanne Elmeier, by making him fall in love with her instead. With time running out, can Irene succeed with her plans, or will she remain bound to the ill-fated ending that awaits her? [Written by MAL Rewrite] Nagase launched the comedy fantasy novel on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in May 2017. Kadokawa began printing the series under its Beans Bunko imprint with illustrations by Mai Murasaki in September that year and released the ninth volume on Friday. Anko Yuzu serialized a manga adaptation in Monthly Comp Ace from June 2018 to August 2019. Kadokawa published the third and final volume in December 2019. Yen Press licensed both the light novel and manga adaptation in English this year and plans to release the first volume of each on October 12 and 26, respectively.

| Ah yes thus start the villainess isekai/fantasy era which will lead to these type of stories getting more milked and becoming new punching bag for mal. That being said korea had it wrost compare to japan. It was only matter of time before villainess doom lead anime to this trend still waiting for my Gender Bend MC and Monster MC trend (Tanya and Rimuru/Kumoko should have made it popular by now) Anyway looking forward to it hope it gives me a good ride |
| Design looking very similar to one of those Manhwa types. |
 |
| Yes a villainess isekai let's gooo!!! Have read lots of Manhwa of this particular genre now it's time to see it in anime format. Hope it's focus more on drama and less on comidy. Edit: Completely forgot about HameFura, so this is technically second Villeness isekai . |

| HameFura's genre is finally becoming a little bigger. I hope we can get an anime for some other villainess isekai that are really good. |

Its already a big ass genre in manga hell way more even in manhwa on the level of its male counterpart power fantasies isekais or system manhwa or cultivation manhua but yeah in anime now its also getting popular. |
| I knew it- with the success of Bakarina, all other villainess shows will get a chance. This one is great, has a solid run and wraps everything (possibly will end in one season?). Villainsess isekai has been around for a long while haha. I hope Bertia gets an adaptation soon |
| Another isekai otome game anime eh, proly gonna watch. |
 |

They are probably anime onlys considering I see plenty anime onlys complaining a season getting 3 or 4 isekai while manga gets new 4 or 5 on more or less daily basis lol makes anime pale in comparison in terms of numbers. |
| Finally! More Isekai actually targeted at a female audience are being adapted!!! I will definitely add this to my PTW! ^-^ |
 My Shoujo, Josei and Female targeted anime adaptations starting from 2017+ stacks: Part 1: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9181 Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9195 Part 3: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9225 Part 4: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/9280 |

Ronninn said: What Sonny boy have to do with this !?There's like a few otome type of anime's other than Hamefura lol, then you guys complain that Sonny Boy is too boring.. The Irony. (kinda true but most of the "criticisms" are kind half assed) |
Ronninn said: Currently watching Sonny boy, 8 ep in... still don't know what's going on.ZXEAN said: I mean the the otome genre isn't that exaggerated compared to Isekai.What Sonny boy have to do with this !? Sonny Boy is a piece of art. |
| The popularity of such LNs and now anime makes me suspect that the audience of otome games is simply dreaming of being the villains in such stories.

Well, a lot of people think that HameFura just made it popular, when in fact Bakarina originally parodied the existing trend. I call this the Konosuba / ReZero effect. |
 |
| Seriously? More of this subgenre-of-a-subgenre-of-a-subgenre? Dull, pass. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| will this have yuri? |
 |
| Premise sounds hilarious so I gotta see how this will play out lol |

I mean this is targeted as female audience just like how japan male folks self insert them into their usual action isekai mc i imagine their females does same for villains to an extent in terms of self inserting themselves tho korea does more here clearly. |

Well, I've hardly seen any male-targeted content like that. Basically, if a male MC becomes a villain in isekai, then he does it by his own decision. |

| I was really looking forward to hamefura and it turned out pretty disappointing. This one has actually less interesting synopsis. I might check it out anyway, but not hoping for much. |

Tbh thats true males self insert more into heroic fugure type mcs or nowdays slowlife dudes with harem. |

Grotesque and subtly annoying ikemen? It's like isekai in a creep dude in NTR porno. |

| I DID NOT expect this, out of all the other villainess series, to actually get adapted :000000 The first arc is actually good, looking forward to it >< |
| A certain person lurking here |

Man you just remind me of redo of healer for some reason ....... Dude, actually any crazy plot can be played well enough. For example, HameFura made a diamond from a highly overused female fantasy. But it takes effort and skill, otherwise you end up with something like a team of geniuses. |

| Read Last Boss in the title and mistakenly thought of another series. Now I'm kind of let down. |

Asturaetus said: Read Last Boss in the title and mistakenly thought of another series. Now I'm kind of let down. Yasei no Last Boss? That's a cool one. With a rare Genderbending, while still being far more action packed. RobertBobert said: The popularity of such LNs and now anime makes me suspect that the audience of otome games is simply dreaming of being the villains in such stories. I remember some females complaining about Otome VN heroines being 2 generic/bland, goody-2-shoes/forgiving, etc. While not few villainess were very cool (even if the evil kind of cool) and usually going from pretty to hot (not to mention gorgeous dresses, specially if they are from Victorian settings). I can see why many would think the villainess is cooler to self-insert. And most of those villainess dont even do that many evil things after their new normie consciousness transmigrate to them. Some were even objectively okay people, who got screwed by fate, or caught in a really unlucky misunderstanding. Its already a big ass genre in manga hell way more even in manhwa on the level of its male counterpart power fantasies isekais or system manhwa or cultivation manhua Indeed (some 4chan weirdo did this pick, so nevermind the idiocy of "class traitor" and "jew" in the nicknames...is still a good guide):  My personal favorites are Eris no Seiha (Holy Grail of Eris), even if it's NOT a isekai, also the korean ones The Way to Protect the Male Lead, Death is the Only Ending for the Villainess and Your Throne. |

| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| @Fabris I'm not familiar with most, but at least some of the girls look hot enough. |
|
| AH YES, because HameFura is a success, so why not bring in more villainesses and play THE exact game out? Prolly gonna watch this. |
 |
| damn, when will duke's daughter be adapted? |
 |
| Female MC oriented isekai. The story seems the same as Bakarina. For me its a good watch |
 |
| Hmm, mixed feelings about this one after reading the manga(not the novel) I have a lot of issues on the drama aspect of it, especially when they shrug a lot of stuff that needs sever punishment |
