Summary

Konoha Satou has a dark history。 Although she’s not the only middle schooler who’s dreamed about romance and adventure， Satou takes it to the next level when she writes herself into a reincarnation fic as the main heroine。 But little does she know， her fantasies will become reality when she wakes up in her Dark History！ There’s just one small complication…Instead of playing the role of heroine， she’s the most despicable villainess—Konoha’s little sister， Iana。 Which means if she wants to avoid tripping her own death flags， she’ll have to remember every last detail of her story…

Konoha spent her entire middle school life preparing to be whisked away to another world of her own design。 Didn’t happen。 Ten years later， however， a fortuitous cameo by the famous Truck-kun sends her into the most horrifying story imaginable - a self-insert fantasy written by a horny middle schooler。 Oh， and she’s not her story’s heroine of the same name， she’s the evil villainess， Iana。Boy， this is a great premise。 I think the set-up is a huge part of my affection for this book - I would wage Konoha spent her entire middle school life preparing to be whisked away to another world of her own design。 Didn’t happen。 Ten years later， however， a fortuitous cameo by the famous Truck-kun sends her into the most horrifying story imaginable - a self-insert fantasy written by a horny middle schooler。 Oh， and she’s not her story’s heroine of the same name， she’s the evil villainess， Iana。Boy， this is a great premise。 I think the set-up is a huge part of my affection for this book - I would wager that many of us at one time or another have written incredibly dire fiction of some sort。 To suddenly be sucked into your own youthful writing as an adult would be， as this manga rightly acknowledges， an exercise in cringe。From the impossibly perfect Princess Konoha to the ridiculously gallant Ginoford， these are such stock characters， but things a particular sort of young girl would write about。 It’s a clever conceit and I like the conflict of Iana having to deal with all the overpowering heroism she wrote， but now from the perspective of the story’s villain。I mean， I think the book’s long game is pretty obvious， but it has an okay start and I’d like to see these characters get where they’re going （especially if they lean into the story throwing up new flags that Iana isn’t aware of）。 Bad girl makes good is a tried and tested premise。So why two stars， you may ask， or you may not， I don’t know。 But let me explain anyway - the execution of this is okay， not amazing。 It feels like it should hit harder than it does and it is fitfully amusing。 The art is mostly。。。 fine。 It doesn’t sell some moments nearly as well as it should。And stripped of its setting， we HAVE seen this done many times over - My Next Life As A Villainess has it in spades over this book。 Iana saving Konoha from a horny wolf beast of her own making doesn’t change the basic plot here。I’d have given that a three stars with some potential on the whole， but that’s only a part of this book。 No， the last third is a full 50 pages devoted to a previous one-shot of the author’s。Look， this is just me， but if I buy a book about something I want the book to be about it。 I can live with a little bit of one shot stuff， especially if it relates to the main story。 This story is an awkwardly drawn， weirdly plotted thing about necromancy and exorcism that I could not have cared less about。It would be like reading the Fellowship of the Ring and just before the council they cut to a story about Tim O’Shanter and how golf was invented。 One thing has nothing to do with the other。 I know this happens in manga， but。。。 it still bugs me every time。So， yeah， two stars。 120 pages or so that had a cracking premise， presented in an okay way， and 50 pages that wasted my time。 I mean， how are you supposed to rate that？ 。。。more
