Manga Review: I was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 3
I was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 3 by Shou (Akuyaku Reijou Desu ga, Kouyaku Taishou no Yousu ga Ijou Sugiru) Manga by: Ataka Light novel: by Sou Inaida Art by: Hachipsu Wen
Mystia is trying to stop the events that will lead to her end. But meanwhile, the events that she's anticipating are also not happening! It's all because of her doing, of course. And there's something sinister pulling the strings in the background. Check out Volumes 1 to 2 reviews. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher.
Something I forgot to mention from the start is that the setting of the story is European historical vibe but the highschool look is modern Japan. The game story proper of KyunKyun Love School takes place in highschool. But it's not your sweet, light highschool life. The general mood has taken a darker turn.

The main characters are all acting abnormal now. (In reference to alternate title: I’m the Villainess, but the Capture Targets Are Too Abnormal.) They're getting more obsessive with her and I've switched to a different bishonen as my favorite as he's the saner one in the lot. I brushed his character off as boring but I'm taken with his character development. All the target characters are now complete as the fourth bishonen, Robert, is properly introduced. Not off to a good start, but the mangaka has mentioned in the author's note to give him a chance. Okay, will do. Mystia being oblivious is also getting tiresome. Don't take it personally Mystia, I always rant about this in reverse harem heroines in general.
Not my favorite volume so far but I'm still very much on boat. The plot thickens with more unanswered questions and shady characters. In fact, everyone is all acting shady from her house to school. I want to fastforward to the next volume for answers!
The third volume cover is featuring Jey's, so we can expect Robert for the fourth volume. The character designs alone make me wish it was an anime. In the last review, I mentioned creating a reel for the manga covers that feature bishonen only which I did BTW. See here. Upnext, create a reel for manga covers that feature the heroine with a different bishie.

I’ll wait to see this volume published on free manga sites because I don’t really like the 15 yr old being romantically interested in the 10 yr old protagonist at all…. At least they are both minors but it still isn’t my thing. I enjoy multiple possessive love interests too 😭
ReplyDeleteI can't remember which review was it now but yes they almost always start the story at 10 years old. I dunno why. Yes, plenty of possessive love interests for you! :D
