Jishou Akuyaku Reijou na Konyakusha no Kansatsu Kiroku
cOMPLETELY exceeding the expectations I had initially from when I read the summary, but that’s what makes it so interesting! Bertia is the self-proclaimed villainess (self-proclaimed because she seems to have transmigrated or reincarnated into an otome game she had played in her previous life) who is determined to hook the prince, her fiancé, up with the heroine of the game. This manga revolves around said fiancé’s observations of his batshit crazy future wife. The events were all pretty typical, and the only things that stray from the usual otome game reincarnation manga is that the story is being told in the perspective of one of the main characters of the game, and that the villainess is super naïve, super cute and super obsessed with her own downfall. Mini spoiler: The prince is slowly starting to realise that what’s not so fun about observing Bertia is that she’s basically rejecting him every time she tries to set him up with the heroine in order to follow the plot. BUT! you can tell that Bertia truly fell in love with the prince, but probs doesn’t think that a “villainess” like her isn’t meant to be with the “heroine’s prince”. I swear I want to protect her and keep her for myself and away from all evils of this world— the prince can go piss off.
