The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess is a shojo isekai manga series by Akiharu Toka, published in English by Yen Press, blending villainess tropes, romantic comedy, and self-aware fantasy storytelling.
Konoha Satou once wrote a self-indulgent fantasy story in her teens, only to be reincarnated into it years later as the villainess, Iana Magnolia. Knowing her character is doomed to die, she must use her memory of the plot to avoid every death flag she herself created. But as the story begins to diverge from what she remembers, survival becomes far less predictable. Mixing humor, cringe-worthy past writing, and genuine tension, this series plays with the villainess trope in a uniquely self-aware way.
