Because this story aims to turn the genre of otome isekai on its head. I seriously love stories of noblewomen winning over some of their fantasy kingdom's most tyrannical dads/males by sheer charm or wit, but....

If I was actually torn from my current life into a world where I have 0 right to speak my mind, have to wear restricting clothes all day, and am pushed around as a pawn, because even as - no, especially as - a noble, a woman's value across worlds basically comes down to what heirs she can bear...I would probably be as antagonistic to this world as our Villainess here.


Not to mention, in most otome reincarnation stories, after the MC perfectly adjusts to an entirely new world, her foreknowledge or lack of interest in noble squabbles make her "interesting". To the mage tower/priest guy who will randomly teleport to her location without considering what she wants. To the crown prince who is a jerk to everyone but only sweet with the girl that intrigues him. To the duke or swordmaster whose dead mom or tragic past justifies all type of atrocities, until the reincarnated girl brings romance and salvation into his life.

Not a single one of these tropes are healthy, and the female leads almost always have a huge disadvantage in social power compared to the male leads, which the latter love to use to their advantage. So this story kind of takes a second look at the romantic fantasy genre and asks: Is it really happiness to have overpowered, traumatized men obsess over you? Enough to find you across multiple lifetimes, massacre hundreds of ordinary people excepting you, and using their aristocratic authority to confine you?

Because many of the most popular otome isekai have characters that do just that.

One small word from our Lalisa, but a HUGE step forward for mankind!!

She absolutely is dense and suffers from I must follow the plot syndrome, but when she hears him think ‘I won’t be able to restrain myself’, she might have thought he wouldn’t be able to restrain his displeasure, annoyance, etc. Remember he also thought, ‘This is driving me insane!’ when he saw her that night, and since she only hears negative thoughts, she put 2 and 2 together and decided sharing a room with her was a negative experience for him 😤

This chapter gets a standing ovation from me!

I just want to clarify that Mao didn’t say anything to her dad about making her mom cry, her dad felt so guilty over everything that when he looked at her face he imagined her blaming him (but as you can see her mouth was closed)

For some reason, this humour is right up my alley:D
Reminds me of Dragon Yashinatte Kudasai :)

You two are cute, too! Love knowing cute married couples don't only exist in manhwa 🥰

This is 10/10 - very comedic and very romantic.

Yaaay! A main couple that actually talks!

Your strong views on seize style(?) sitting amuse me

The site's categorization is wrong. This definitely isn't a shoujo manga!! Shoujo manga usually aren't from the perspective of a formerly nerdy boy befriending a peerless beauty and then getting surrounded by more beautiful girls. Nor do you see the up-close shots of girls' bodies that you'll see throughout Kusunoki-san in most shoujo manga. In conclusion - this is a relaxing romcom in the shōnen demographic.

The battle of the white lotuses

One of the books the main character referenced said the prince was 21 at the time of his marriage to the heroine. So, Richard can't be him, as he'll be only 18 in three years.

I love even trash otome isekai, but this isn't the cliche festival I expected, I like that the effects of reincarnation are actually being explained and that there's a chance for friendship between the original main character and our lead character.

Uuuuurrrrggh I love onee-san's way of thinking and speaking, this was too healing and soothing.

Dang, slow start but it so GOOD by the end. Manatsu and her crush are everything!

A heartwarming comedy with a love story in progress 💛

The Mom's hairstyle is so similar to Jinta's from Anohana's. Anyway, I came to reread this story thanks to a manga about a cursed child and his maid :)

So far, it's adorable.
