Publishing company Kadokawa announced an anime adaptation of Sarasa Nagase‘s Akuyaku Reijou nanode Last Boss wo Kattemimashita (I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss) light novel on Friday. The anime project is commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Kadokawa Beans Bunko imprint.
Synopsis
Being acutely ill, a young girl has spent most of her life in a hospital room playing otome games to fill her time. However, she one day finds herself in the midst of a scene from one of these games as the story’s villainess, Irene Loren D’Autriche.
At the banquet to celebrate the end of the academy’s winter term, the crown prince and Irene’s childhood friend, Cedric Jeanne Elmeier, publicly annuls his engagement with Irene and announces that he is in love with Lilia Rainworth, the game’s female protagonist. Aware of the tragic future ahead of her and determined to change it, the young girl resolves to conquer the game’s final boss, the “Demon King” and Cedric’s half-brother, Claude Jeanne Elmeier, by making him fall in love with her instead.
With time running out, can Irene succeed with her plans, or will she remain bound to the ill-fated ending that awaits her?
Nagase launched the comedy fantasy novel on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in May 2017. Kadokawa began printing the series under its Beans Bunko imprint with illustrations by Mai Murasaki in September that year and released the ninth volume on Friday.
Anko Yuzu serialized a manga adaptation in Monthly Comp Ace from June 2018 to August 2019. Kadokawa published the third and final volume in December 2019.
Yen Press licensed both the light novel and manga adaptation in English this year and plans to release the first volume of each on October 12 and 26, respectively.
