Jishou Akuyaku Reijou na Kon'yakusha no Kansatsu Kiroku. #1

Jishou Akuyaku Reijou na Kon'yakusha no Kansatsu Kiroku, or 'I'm a Villainous Daughter, so I'm going to keep the Last Boss,' began as a light novel series written by Shiki Sarasa and illustrated by Hazuki Futaba. The manga adaptation of the first volume, illustrated by Satoru Hiida, was serialized in Monthly Comic Rex starting in 2018. It emerged during the height of the villainess subgenre in isekai literature, distinguishing itself by shifting the narrative perspective to the prince who observes the protagonist's attempts to navigate the tropes of an otome game.

The character design reflects the transition from light novel prose to manga format, emphasizing the contrast between the protagonist Bertia's eccentric behavior and the composed, analytical nature of Prince Cecil. Hiida's art style was chosen to balance the comedic elements of the narrative with the regal aesthetic expected of the setting. Upon its release, the volume was well-received by readers for its lighthearted subversion of established fantasy tropes and the chemistry between its two lead characters.
