such a fun take within the regression genre! instead of regressing to a younger age, our protagonist resurrects from the dead after someone murders her. part agatha christie, part revenge fullfilment, and part fantasy politics, this manga is such a breath of fresh air. it’s fun to watch ophelia finally take the reigns as queen, even though she only has ten days in her resurrected body. a page-turner! 8/10
4/5
pros/
+ all the standard oi tropes in a thrilling mystery sherlock holmes-like story! a page turner!
+ being resurrected instead of being sent back in time is such a fun twist lol i love it
+ the politics are actually really intriguing bc the protag has a singular goal: to find out who killed her
+ such a fast and thrilling pace bc she only has 10 days to do it!
cons/
+ no immediately obvious themes. a nitpick honestly since it’s such a fun and entertaining story nonetheless

kanzaki, a transfer student, is obsessed with making the tough and scary yankee girl say cutesy things. it’s a silly and bizarre friendship! i really love the 80s sensibilities of this manga— the poofy hair and bangs, the art style, the uniforms, the fashion, the cover art. such a fun read! a gl that’s cute, has chemistry, is stylish, and doesn’t have an age gap… yes the bar is in hell and Yes i wish there were more chapters. 8/10

pros/
+ this one is SO fun! the characters are endearing and have actual personality
+ fl is a famous actress and is using her acting skills to help the duke solve a mystery
+ their chemistry is so cute - she has such a bold and confident personality lol.
cons/
+ no real themes and i feel like the court shenanigans get a little over the top for the general comedic tone it has. but i guess it’s necessary for the mystery aspect? but yeah i still feel like the tone isn’t handled well

2/5
pros/
+ chemistry and dynamic is really interesting esp in the first part when he’s not sure whether to trust her
+ she has an interesting arc where she’s regarded as distant, “like an audience”
cons/
+ premise is slightly weird w the psuedo-incest. i mean from the beginning the author makes a lot of excuses that are clearly justifications like “see? this isn’t incest!” and it isnt from the ml’s side but the main chara is so questionable, esp if u consider her mental age. lol

pros/
+ very beautiful artwork
+ some potential gl on the horizon
cons/
+ could not wrap my head around the story lol bc the pacing sucks
+ there’s no real backbone to the story like i can’t make sense of the characters’ actions and there’s a Lot going on w the plot between the game mechanics/transmigration, 3 love interests, schemes from the villainous matriarch, and magic? theres no room for any of these elements to breathe lol

nina, a poor orphan girl, is thrust into power and politics as she is asked to impersonate the late princess alisha, who died in an accident. i love the politics, the worldbuilding, the themes of fate and destiny, and the fact that the love triangle is so hopelessly convoluted. it kept me on the edge of my seat and i really feel for all the characters!! i particularly love the main chara, who is so brave and steadfast in her morals and beliefs! 7/10

pros/
+ off of mood alone this is one of my fave villainess mangas
+ the theme is about stories, the main chara is someone who adores books, and the romantic interest is a king who cannot read. like i think the thematic setup is so JUICY considering that the mc has to come to terms w being a villainess
+ has such a strong art style; it’s so gorgeous it’s crazy. so many amazing decisions to really evoke it this dangerous and whimsical vibe… amazing
cons/

sylph biebel has been abandoned by the heroine for the sin of being born a villainess. it’s a familiar premise, but this manga has such an excellent way of setting the mood through the details of the environment, the composition of the scenes, the intricate cross-hatching that makes everything look scratched-up and ominous. it’s so gorgeous and unsettling - what happens when a girl obsessed with stories realizes that she is fated to be a villain? 8/10

it has such a basic villainess plot but there is something so mystical about the combination of the pacing, the focus on stories, the cross-hatching, the composition, the environments… it has such a dark and whimsical mood about it, like a traditionally violent fairy tale! i wish i discovered a bit later so i didn’t have to make do with like 5 chapters lol im so curious about how it’s going to develop

2/5
pros/
+ main chara is so pretty and her powers are cool
+ everyones powers are like pretty fun in a shounen kinda way
cons/
+ the tone is so weird like it feels so crazy that theres so much shounen-esque violence in a lords and ladies setting LMAO like i feel like if u wanted to give ur charas cool powers… the setting should match?
+ political schemes and sibling rivalry was a little silly and the romance didnt have chemistry lols
