Based on Akiharu Toka’s manga, The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess follows Iana, a girl who suddenly finds herself reborn as the villainess from a dark fantasy story she wrote in her past life. But instead of meeting the tragic fate she once imagined, she’s determined to rewrite her destiny, even if it means navigating betrayals, unexpected allies, and dangerous love interests.
Yen Press officially publishes the English version of the manga, bringing it to audiences worldwide. They describe the story as:
Konoha Satou has a dark history. After all, she spent her teen years writing self-indulgent fantasy romance fics-like her Dark History. But since she’s become its most despicable villainess, remembering every last detail is now a matter of life-and-death. Having avoided the first couple of death flags, Satou’s suddenly left in the dark when a mysterious stranger returns from the Lily Kingdom-a character she doesn’t recall writing in the original script. Although Yomi claims to be her ally, can Satou really trust a character she knows nothing about in such a dangerous world?
