The Villainess's Guide to (Not) Falling in Love

A lighthearted romantic comedy from Square Enix Manga & Books, this series launched in 2024 and follows a young woman who, after being reincarnated as the villainess in her favorite otome game, is determined to avoid the story's tragic ending by refusing to fall in love with any of the game's male leads. Across six issues, she navigates the pitfalls of courtly life with a pragmatic, often hilarious approach to sidestepping romantic flags. The series is a charming entry in the popular "villainess reincarnation" genre, offering fresh humor and a clever take on self-preservation.
