About the series
A charmingly meta twist on the isekai genre, this Yen Press series follows a devoted fangirl who is reborn as the story's villainess—only to use her new role to secretly support and protect her favorite heroes from behind the scenes. Running since 2023, it blends comedy, romance, and clever genre deconstruction as its protagonist navigates the tricky line between playing the antagonist and being her faves' biggest cheerleader. The series is best known for its warm, playful tone and its unique premise of villainy as a form of fandom.
