”I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway!” by Sou Inaida

This is a series review of ”I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway!” by Sou Inaida

It follows the same story plot as ”My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!” by Satoru Yamaguchi, which was just what I was hoping for :D

Mystia, our female MC, begins at 10 years old having flashbacks and realise that she has been reincarnated into a game as the villainess. She doesn't remember the details but knows that a fatal ending is waiting for her if she doesn't change the storyline ...

Mystia is like Katarina well-loved and admired by the people around her, but where Katarina is a villain until the point she remembers, Mystia seems like she has always been a clever and good girl who is much more aware of her lacks. She always acts out of a sense of duty and sensibility, which to the reader makes it clear that she's pure-hearted, but I could also see how her actions might be misunderstood and for others she might come across as a spoiled rich girl with no real problems. It all depends on the eye that sees and I liked that her villain ways were included in the story.

The story is written so we get plurals POV from all of the main characters and some of them actually made me cry!

The thing I like the best about Mysteria is that she's aware that the storylines for the male characters are changing and while she wants to prevent her fatal ending, she recognises that the characters have to stay the same or else they won't follow the path towards the heroine (and then she has no idea how to prevent the fatal ending!)

I can see how she will drive herself dizzy while preventing the bad storylines and still try to fix the ”bugs” in the game.

”Wolf Girl And Black Prince, Vol 1” by Ayuko Hatta

”Wolf Girl And Black Prince, Vol 1” by Ayuko Hatta is a hilarious romantic comedy about Erika (The wolf girl) who cried too many times that she has a boyfriend – when she actually doesn't. Her friends think she's a liar, and scared of being left out in the cold, Erika takes a picture of a random hot guy in the street. If only she had known that they know him already because he goes to her school! The disaster feeling is strong when Erika is almost caught in her lies, but Sata, the guy, listens to her pleas about him becoming her fake boyfriend. He's a nice guy and agrees - all she has to do is be at his beck and call. His own personal slave dog. Turns out he's a wolf in sheep's clothing! Now, now, before anyone goes complaining that this guy is evil and mistreating her, just remember that Erika could stop this farce at any time by telling the truth to her friends. She doesn't and I think for sure there's going to be an important lesson to be learned he...

"When We Shout for Love, Vol 3" by Yuka Kitagawa

The "When We Shout for Love" series by Yuka Kitagawa is a wholesome and satisfying read. It's about friendship, empowerment, and about being passionate about the things you like. This is a read for everyone that likes stories about fandoms. Especially if you like when fans meet their idols! I flew through this series, and couldn't get the next volume fast enough. Cute, adorable, and fast-paced with reliable characters. I loved the growth Mayuko go through, the music that inspires her, and the fanciable Ohba-kun for his support and patience as Mayuko struggles with her anxiety. It was nice to read a story with no miscommunications but with positive messages about not caring about other people looking at you, and daring to do the things you love. But I'm sad now because volume 3 was the last in the series. One thing is sure, I will check out the author's other works!

"Acid Town, Vol 2" by Kyugo

"Acid Town, Vol 2" by Kyugo continues to be a gritty and interesting read. If you love "Banana Fish" by Akimi Yoshida, then this is a must-read. A dark story with a yakuza setting, romantic BL vibes and a hero with a tragic past and something important to protect. It hits me right in the heart. Synopsis: In a run-down city beset with poverty and gangs, survival is a daily struggle for Yuki and his best friend Tetsu. In a desperate attempt to pay for Yuki's brother's hospitalization, the two of them get caught trying to break into a yakuza vault. But the gang's young boss, Kazutaka Hyoudo, takes an interest in Yuki and they strike a deal: Hyoudo is willing to take care of the hospital bills— for a price. A weekly visit to the Seidoukai office doesn't seem like much to pay, but the boys' connection to the criminal group has already begun to draw the wrong kind of attention. When a shady, malicious figure from Yuki's past reappears in h...
