As The Villainess, I Reject These Happy-Bad Endings!   ( Watashi ga Seijo? Iie, Akuyaku Reijou desu!)  light novel by Iota AIUE, art by Kuroyuki, translated by Moly Lee The main character gets reincarnated as Iris du Chevalier; the villainess of her favorite otome game.

While trying to change the events, she head-on faces the soilpox disease and in the process, people seem to think she's the holy maiden.  Disclaimer: a review copy was provided by publisher. In my history of reverse harem, this is by far the most confusing reverse harem. Ever. After I started reading the novel I realized I misunderstood a tweet thinking it was a reverse harem.

Reverse Harem or Not a Reverse Harem? Part 3 of 3: Princess Maid (webcomic) 37 chapters - ongoing

Princess Maid/Maid to be a Princess (webcomic/manhua) 37 chapters - ongoing by Koowa Group & Ayu & Heibaigeer Princess Sophia is a spoiled princess of  Vesperang. Then overnight everything will be taken from her and the princess becomes a maid in the neighboring kingdom, Norterang. In Norterang there are five brothers: Alex, the cold eldest prince; Luka, the second prince loyal to Alex only; Cecil, the third prince with unknown motives, and the fourth prince Darcy who is sickly.

I  feel for her when she's being bullied but she hangs on and pr...

Here are the titles I've procrastinated yet again to review as the reverse harem status of the two titles is maybe it may become one in the future while the other one made me really confused. Reverse harem or not a reverse harem? That is the question. Also, check out Levels of Reverse Harem .  Those Not-So-Sweet Boys Vol. 1 ( Amakunai Karera no Nichijo wa)  by Youko Nogiri   To help her family's finances, Midori Nanami is working part-time but it is against the school's rules. She was caught and may lose her scholarship. The only way to keep it is to convince the three boys to go back to school. The boys are Yukinojo Ieri, son of a doctor; Rei Ichijo, son of the head of Ichijo conglomerate and Chihiro Goshima, successor to Goshima Gang. They have a bad rep in their school but Midori believes they are nice as they have helped her before. The manga has a  slice-of-life  feel with  typical highschool scenes that is just right.  We are slowly get...
