But, no matter how much she dreamed about this scenario, her life remained ordinary. While she waited for her destiny to arrive, Konoha devoted countless hours to writing an “epic” tale where she was reborn in a magical land as a kind and gorgeous girl who overcomes every hardship and saves the world. When she was young, Konoha was convinced that she would one day be summoned to a fantasy world where she would go on many adventures, becoming a powerful heroine who is beloved by all. The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess throws in the added twist that the fantasy world that the lead finds herself reborn into is actually from a story she wrote as a teen! As it happens, I’m very familiar with the special brand of awkward yarn that young and inexperienced writers can spin, having penned more then a few in my day, and I was looking forward to seeing how the lead character in this manga dealt with living through the weird scenarios she herself had concocted as a teen. I’m quite partial to shojo isekai (a genre where young ladies are either transported to or reborn into magical worlds) and I find the stories where the main characters are reborn in the role of the villainess, instead of the heroine, to be the juiciest. The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess is a shojo isekai manga by Akiharu Touka and it’s one of the series that I’ve been most looking forward to checking out in 2021.
